## Adding Guava to your build

Guava's Maven group ID is `com.google.guava`, and its artifact ID is `guava`.
Guava provides two different "flavors": one for use on a (Java 8+) JRE and one
for use on Android or by any library that wants to be compatible with Android.
These flavors are specified in the Maven version field as either `33.2.0-jre` or
`33.2.0-android`. For more about depending on Guava, see
