Cannot use Search API

Edit: This is due to a GCloud issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/63732823

---

I can’t get the Search API to work in my project if I switch from the old Gradle App Engine plugin to this new plugin. I’m able to replicate the same problem using the search example in java-docs-samples.

The hello world example java-docs-samples/appengine/helloworld-new-plugins that makes use of this new plugin works, and I’m able to run ./gradlew appengineRun and visit http://localhost:8080 without issue.

However, upon replacing the src folder in the hello world example with the one from the search example (java-docs-samples/appengine/search/src), modifying build.gradle to include the dependency com.google.appengine:appengine-api-1.0-sdk

dependencies {
  providedCompile group: 'javax.servlet', name: 'servlet-api', version:'2.5'
  compile 'com.google.appengine:appengine:+',
          'com.google.appengine:appengine-api-1.0-sdk:+'
// Add your dependencies here.

}

and running ./gradlew appengineRun, although the server starts up fine, visiting http://localhost:8080 results in an exception:

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class com.google.appengine.repackaged.com.google.common.collect.HashMultimapGwtSerializationDependencies cannot access its superclass com.google.appengine.repackaged.com.google.common.collect.AbstractSetMultimap

Loading the page again results in another exception:

The same thing happens in my own project whenever I try to access pages that use the Search API.

I have the same issue in Maven Based Google App Engine Standard Java Runtime Project

Lets keep this open until we know it works with a future release.
