Stevo Slavic commented on OPENJPA-2080:
---------------------------------------

As Romain explained, using old commons-lang 2.x is an issue. I've found this ticket only after creating OPENJPA-2217, but there I've practically explained same problem as Romain. Depending on openejb which depends on openjpa brings in two commons-lang jars, and for what, >90% use is StringUtils. commons-lang 2.x is compatible with java 1.3. openjpa which by definition requires annotations and java 5 has fallen under bad influence of commons-lang 2.x by using some of the java 1.3 compatibility stuff from commons-lang 2.x like NestableRuntimeException. On the other hand commons-lang3 is targeting java 1.5 making it lighter, typesafe, easier to maintain library, and one wants such dependencies over legacy ones.

I've attached a patch to OPENJPA-2217 which replaces commons-lang:commons-lang:2.x with org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.1

> OpenJPA should migrate from Commons Lang 2.x to 3.x, to eliminate the dependency on the old library.
