Google Analytics V4 NoSuchMethodError: ' com.google.common.collect.Iterables.getFirst'

I tried to use google-auth-library-java project to get credentials for accessing Google Analytics data by Google Analytics V4 Java API.
But when I tried to use GoogleCredentials.fromStream(), I ran into the following error
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'java.lang.Object com.google.common.collect.Iterables.getFirst(java.lang.Iterable, java.lang.Object)'
at com.google.auth.oauth2.OAuth2Credentials.getFromServiceLoader(OAuth2Credentials.java:318)

My project is regular Java Maven project not Spring Boot. But when do some test on Spring Boot project, it works.
the following is my pom.xml

and this the error thrown when I start app in Eclipse Jee Neon
link to error log file

Your stacktrace says that a bean of class com.mihanblog.CloudGIS.Utilities.CustompostHandlelerInterceptor has been defined but the class isn't on the classpath.
I assume the package com.mihanblog is yours, so that should be one of your classes.
Does this class even exist ?
Or did you make a typo while defining the bean? Because the name "CustompostHandlelerInterceptor" looks like a typo to me.

Maven: slf4 jars with different versions are added after pom compile, and war gets version conflict error because of that

I am having issue with my pom. Even when I am not adding any dependancy in the pom, in war I am getting:
1. slf4j-api-1.5.11.jar
2. slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar
3. slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar
Issue: due to this My war doesn't run on the server and gets error regarding conflict. I need to resolve this issue.
Manual Solution: I remove the slf4j-api-1.5.11.jar manually from the war and it starts running on the server.
Can you please help me to avoid this manual solution and My pom is it self handles it. I also used exclusion, but of no vain.
looking forward to your help

You can use dependency management to ensure that every slf4j dependencies are aligned.
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
<version>1.7.12</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-IMPL-THAT-YOU-WANT</artifactId>
<version>1.7.12</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
To know which dependency requires and import slf4j, you can use:
mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose

While YMomb's answer should work (and its easy), you can also explicitly exclude transitive dependencies from a dependency.
To find which dependencies consist org.slf4j as a transitive dependency, run
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.slf4j:*
This will give you something like , ( at least it gave me from above of your dependencies)
[INFO] - org.quartz-scheduler:quartz:jar:2.1.7:compile [INFO]
org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.6.1:compile
Means 'quartz' has it, exclude the org.slf4j from it.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.quartz-scheduler</groupId>
<artifactId>quartz</artifactId>
<version>2.1.7</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
you may to do it for all the dependencies which contains slf4j. then you can define your desired version of slf4j and use it
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
<version>1.6.5</version>
</dependency>

I ran the below code.
public static void main(String args[]) {
ClassLoader classloader =
org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.POIFSFileSystem.class.getClassLoader();
URL res = classloader.getResource(
"org/apache/poi/poifs/filesystem/POIFSFileSystem.class");
String path = res.getPath();
System.out.println("Core POI came from " + path);
}
Output is :
.m2/repository/org/apache/poi/poi/3.7/poi-3.7.jar!/org/apache/poi/poifs/filesystem/POIFSFileSystem.class

I think you need to update the version of jxls if you want to bundle POI-3.7.
Looking at the source for POI-3.7 is has a method:
public void setCellValue(RichTextString value)
{
HSSFRichTextString hvalue = (HSSFRichTextString) value;
....
}
rather than:
public void setCellValue(HSSFRichTextString value)
{
}
It would seem the latter was in POI-3.2, on which jxls has a dependency and which it was compiled against, but not in POI-3.7.
I note the answer below however looking at the class Signature for HSSFRichTextString in POI-3.2 it is as below:
public class org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFRichTextString implements java.lang.Comparable {
}
viz. does not implement RichTextString (which it does in POI-3.7).
It would seem then that POI-3.7 is not backwards compatible with POI-3.2.
A similar issue was reported for the PrimeFace library:
https://code.google.com/p/primefaces/issues/detail?id=1148

I removed dependance poi 3.7 from pom and excluded poi-ooxml-schemas, poi-ooxml from jasperreports like below.
