Hi, +1, Thanks Ignase for your writeup! Since my team is blocked by the gson dependency I will try to work on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-1166 . I am not familiar with it and have only very limited time, but will try, so if someone already has worked on it feel free to take the task from me.
