NoSuchMethodError with YouTube API in Java

Question

I am writing a code in Java to upload videos to youtube from mu application.

My code is :

package com.youtube.video;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import com.google.gdata.client.youtube.YouTubeService;
import com.google.gdata.data.media.mediarss.MediaCategory;
import com.google.gdata.data.media.mediarss.MediaDescription;
import com.google.gdata.data.media.mediarss.MediaKeywords;
import com.google.gdata.data.media.mediarss.MediaTitle;
import com.google.gdata.data.youtube.FormUploadToken;
import com.google.gdata.data.youtube.VideoEntry;
import com.google.gdata.data.youtube.YouTubeMediaGroup;
import com.google.gdata.data.youtube.YouTubeNamespace;
import com.google.gdata.util.AuthenticationException;
import com.google.gdata.util.ServiceException;

public class YouTubeController {

    public static YouTubeService service;

    public void init() {
      if (service == null) {
        service = new YouTubeService("[email protected]", "A...A");
        String username = "[email protected]";
        String password = "xxxxxxxxx";

        try {
          service.setUserCredentials(username, password);
        } catch (AuthenticationException ae) {
          ae.printStackTrace();
        }
      }
    }

    static String token;
    static String formUrl;
    public static void setFormDetails() throws IOException {
      VideoEntry newEntry = new VideoEntry();
      YouTubeMediaGroup mg = newEntry.getOrCreateMediaGroup();

      String videoTitle = "this is a title";

      mg.addCategory(new MediaCategory(YouTubeNamespace.CATEGORY_SCHEME, "Autos"));
      mg.setTitle(new MediaTitle());
      mg.setPrivate(false);
      mg.setKeywords(new MediaKeywords());
      mg.getKeywords().addKeyword("");
      mg.getTitle().setPlainTextContent(videoTitle);
      mg.setDescription(new MediaDescription());
      mg.getDescription().setPlainTextContent(videoTitle);

      URL uploadUrl = new URL("http://gdata.youtube.com/action/GetUploadToken");

      try {
        FormUploadToken fut = service.getFormUploadToken(uploadUrl, newEntry);
        token = fut.getToken();
        System.out.println(">>>>>"+token);
        formUrl = fut.getUrl();
      } catch (ServiceException se) {
        se.printStackTrace();
      }
    }

    public static void main(String s[]) throws IOException {
        YouTubeController yc = new YouTubeController();
        yc.init();
        yc.setFormDetails();
    }
}

I have the following jars in lib folder :

gdata-client-1.0.jar gdata-youtube-2.0.jar gdata-core-1.0.jar gdata-media-1.0.jar google-collect-1.0.jar guava-13.0.1.jar mail.jar activation.jar

But while running this piece of code, it is giving me the following error :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.collect.ImmutableSet.copyOf([Ljava/lang/Object;)Lcom/google/common/collect/ImmutableSet;
    at com.google.gdata.wireformats.AltFormat$Builder.setAcceptableTypes(AltFormat.java:399)
    at com.google.gdata.wireformats.AltFormat$Builder.setAcceptableXmlTypes(AltFormat.java:387)
    at com.google.gdata.wireformats.AltFormat.<clinit>(AltFormat.java:49)
    at com.google.gdata.client.Service.<clinit>(Service.java:558)
    at com.zeta.video.YouTubeController.init(YouTubeController.java:23)
    at com.zeta.video.YouTubeController.main(YouTubeController.java:66)

I tried all solutions over net, and all of them points out that this error is because i am missing some JAR files. But i am having all the JARs. Can someone help me with this issue?

I am referring to what editor/build platform you are using. It sounds as though you are not correctly referencing the jar files you mention in the lib folder. Are you using Eclipse? The command line? Netbeans? IntelliJ? — BeRecursive

It looks as though you are referencing both google-collections and guava. Since guava is a superset of google-collections you actually only need to reference guava. Remove the reference to google-collections and you should find the problem is resolved.
