google-cloud-java: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org/eclipse/jetty/alpn/ALPN

My team has built a very thing wrapper around the spanner java driver and we have ran a number of tests successfully.

An issue came up when we tried to integrate the layer we built with vert.x (http://vertx.io)

An exception is occurring on the following code block:

SpannerOptions.newBuilder().build();

The following exception is being thrown:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Jetty ALPN/NPN has not been properly configured.

The environment I’m developing on is the following:

OS: MacOSX JDK Version: 1.8.0_152 Spanner Driver version: 0.32.0-beta

I believe this is a gRPC error. I have tried excluding dependencies such as grpc-netty but that hasn’t sorted the issue yet.
