The shaded Guava (split.com.google.common.*) causes GraalVM native-image parsing errors because it lacks the native-image configuration that standard Guava provides. Problem: When building a native image with the Split SDK, GraalVM fails with: Error parsing split.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$Segment Caused by: Unresolved type split.com.google.common.util.concurrent.SettableFuture Root cause: The Maven Shade Plugin relocates Guava to split.com.google.common.* which strips the META-INF/native-image configuration that standard Guava includes for GraalVM compatibility. Solution: Remove Guava from the shade plugin configuration. Guava remains as a transitive dependency, allowing applications to use the standard Guava library which has proper GraalVM native-image support. Changes: - Remove com.google.guava:guava from shade plugin includes - Remove org.checkerframework:* from shade plugin includes - Remove com.google -> split.com.google relocation - Remove org.checkerframework -> split.org.checkerframework relocation Impact: - Guava is now a transitive dependency instead of being bundled - Applications using GraalVM native-image can now build successfully - Potential version conflicts with other Guava users (mitigated by dependency management in build tools) Tested with: - Quarkus 3.27.1 + Mandrel JDK-23 - Native image builds successfully - Split client works correctly at runtime

Description
This PR enables GraalVM native-image compilation for applications using the Split.io Java SDK.
Problem
The Split SDK shades Guava to
split.com.google.common.*to avoid dependency conflicts. However, this shaded Guava lacks the GraalVM native-image configuration that standard Guava provides, causing build failures:Root Cause
Standard Guava (
com.google.common.*) includes GraalVM native-image configuration inMETA-INF/native-image/. When the SDK shades Guava tosplit.com.google.common.*, this configuration is lost, and GraalVM cannot parse complex classes likeLocalCache.Segment.Solution
Remove Guava from the shade plugin configuration. Guava remains as a transitive dependency, allowing applications to use the standard Guava library which has proper GraalVM native-image support.
Changes

Impact
Breaking Change
Applications that explicitly depend on the shaded Guava package names (
split.com.google.*) will need to update imports. However, this is unlikely since the shaded packages are internal implementation details.Benefits
