In the repository I see that in commons-lang/commons-lang/ folder
there are four of them 2.1, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 but 2.1 and 2.4 has no jar in the folder just the other files. There are jars in 2.5 and 2.6 folders.
And in org/apache/commons/commons-lang3 folder I see one 3.1 with the jar

I have broken this down to the point of absolute basic observation so that someone with the similar experience could help me out.

Answer 1

Since OP did not specify details I guess this may be about running maven on Ubuntu 14.

Maven packaging on Ubuntu seems to have some "issue". After apt-get install maven in Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS and attempting to package my project with mvn package I got the same exception.

Workaround from comment on github is:

sudo ln -s ../../java/commons-lang.jar /usr/share/maven/lib

That fixed maven at least in my case.

Answer 2

Check your version of commons-lang, mine was version 2.6 used sudo find / | grep commons-lang

add to the dependencies before plugins and ensure id starts with I not i:

<dependency> 
    <groupId>commons-lang</groupId> 
    <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId> 
    <version>2.6</version>
</dependency> 

Does not build as per wiki there is no controller/opendaylight/distribution/opendaylight/target in order to ./run.sh So I am looking for that now ??

Answer 3

You do not declare commons-lang as a dependency. Add

<dependencies>
<dependency>
    <groupId>commons-lang</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId>
    <version>2.3</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

To your pom.xml

Your pom.xml should looks like:

<dependencies>
<dependency>
    <groupId>commons-lang</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId>
    <version>2.3</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

Answer 4

Try adding this dependency to your pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>commons-lang</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId>
    <version>2.6</version>
</dependency>

Answer 5

对我来说，问题似乎在于访问本地 maven 存储库中的工件，所以我只是从本地 maven 存储库中删除了整个 org/apache 文件夹，它解决了问题。

Answer 6

You should change the commons-lang3.jar dependency version in pom.xml. if you are doing code in java simple project add another jar whatever version you are using. or you can check jar replication shouldn't be there.

org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils missing when running Maven on Ubuntu

Some Maven goals like site:stage fail under Ubuntu 14.04 with

A required class was missing while executing
    org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:3.4:stage: org/apache/commons/lang/StringUtils 

This happens if you use the Ubuntu Maven package which misses the commons-lang dependency. You can either unpack a stand-alone Maven archive or use the following commands: cd /usr/share/maven/lib sudo ln -s ../../java/commons-lang.jar . https://wiki.apache.org/commons/VfsProblems
