Firebase in Google app engine throwing noMethodFound error while initialization

[Giridhar via StackOverflow]

I am trying to initialize firebase in Google appengine web app and using maven for dependencies.

<dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.firebase</groupId>
        <artifactId>firebase-server-sdk</artifactId>
        <version>[3.0.0,)</version>
    </dependency>

Getting error

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.oauth2.GoogleCredential.fromStream(....)
at com.google.firebase.FirebaseOptions$Builder.setServiceAccount(FirebaseOptions.java:77)
