Version of google-api-java-client? 1.18.0-rc

Java environment? OpenJDK 1.7.0 Describe the problem. I'm having an issue when running code against the generated mapsengine library, rev5 from Maven, 1.18.0-rc. I've attached the Jar I used, which was downloaded from here: http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Ccom.google.apis%7Cgoogle-api-services-mapsengine%7Cv1-rev5-1.18.0-rc%7Cjar This code:

import com.google.api.services.mapsengine.model.GeoJsonGeometryCollection;

class Repro {
public static void main(String[] args) {
GeoJsonGeometryCollection geoms = new GeoJsonGeometryCollection();
}
}

fails like so:

$ java -cp google-api-services-mapsengine-v1-rev5-1.18.0-rc.jar:google-http-client-1.18.0-rc.jar:. Repro

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

The other geometry classes seem fine so far, it's just instantiating a GeoJsonGeometryCollection that breaks.
