That would explain a lot. Ok, so after stopping the openhab2 service, dropping the jar file into the $OPENHAB_HOME/addons and then rm -rf $OPENHAB_USERDATA/{cache,tmp}/*, this shows in the console:
openhab>
openhab> bundle:list -s | grep wave
13 │ Installed │ 80 │ 2.5.0.201904070025 │ org.openhab.binding.zwave
openhab>
So is that snapshot 0025?
(Incidentally, the console shows 2.4.0 Release Build in the welcome message, but paper ui shows 2.5.0.M1)
But then the openhab.log file freaks out:
2019-04-08 09:08:48.584 [WARN ] [org.apache.felix.fileinstall ] - Error while starting bundle: file:/usr/share/openhab2/addons/org.openhab.binding.zwave-2.5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

But I can’t sort out where to find this com.google.common.collect package. A few posts, such as here and here seem to indicate this comes with the Guava bundle but I’m really just grasping at straws here.
