--------------------------

             Summary: xwork-core (> 2.3.20) has a dependency to commons-lang3 (3.2) which is problematic with Java 5
                 Key: WW-4541
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4541
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.3.20
         Environment: JAVA 5
            Reporter: Jon Y.


Since the xwork-core version 2.3.20 there is a dependency to commons-lang3 version 3.2 which is defined in the struts2-parent POM file.
But according to [1] commons-lang3 3.2 requires at least Java 6. Strictly speaking, Struts 2 versions higher than 2.3.20 needs Java 6.
If you have a web project based on Java 5 and the commons-lang3 library is used, you will get a compile error.
"class file has wrong version 50.0, should be 49.0"
