Error creating BlobContext using jclouds in a Spring MVC application

Question

I have a Spring MVC 4.0.1 web application that needs to upload files to Rackspace Cloud Files. I am using Apache jClouds in order to do this. When trying to create the BlobStore using the following code:

BlobStoreContext context = ContextBuilder.newBuilder("cloudfiles-us").credentials("username","password").buildView(BlobStoreContext.class);

I get the following exception:

com.google.inject.CreationException: Guice creation errors:

I cannot figure this out, since its pretty much the first line of the example code at this point...

Are you running jclouds 1.6.x or 1.7.0 with Java 7u51? If so, you may have encountered https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-427 . You can work around this by downgrading to Java 7u45 or upgrading to jclouds 1.7.1.
