Upgrade third party libraries (provided by confluence) in custom plugins

[Shanker P]

In confluence 6.6.3 server WEB_INF/lib, guava 18.0 jar is provided.

So I have added guava 18.0 in maven dependencies (scope as provided) of custom plugin.

Now to fix one vulnerability in guava 18.0, I want to upgrade it to Guava 25.0.

So if I use Guava 25.0 in maven dependency (scope as compile), will that be okay?

Would there be any conflicts, because Guava 18.0 is already provided by confluence?

Thanks,

Shanker.

Incase anyone come across the issue...

I have tried to add the latest version of Guava in dependencies.

But confluence is throwing errors when tried to upload the plugin. So I think, it is not possible to upgrade the dependency provided by confluence.
