Hi Sean, Thank you for your answer.
I now use my little cTakes pipeline with guava 18.0 and I get any errors. Let's note that my pipeline is for now very "basic" : I just launch a pipeline based on the AggregatePlaintextUMLSProcessor.xml file, so I'm not using so much third party dependencies at this point.
