[configuration] Common-configuration is not compatible with apache-lang-3.X

[Ivan Boelle <iv...@int.com>]

Hello,

We recently upgraded our apache-common-lang library from 2.4 to 3.
But some classes of apache-common-configuration rely on classes that are
not part of apache-common-lang anymore.
(ConfigurationException depends on NestableException for example)
-> http://commons.apache.org/lang/article3_0.html

I can't find any information on that issue, am I the only one in this
situation ?
What can I do ?

Does apache-common-configuration will be modified to be compatible with
apache-common-lang-3 ?

Best regards,

---

c-lang and c-lang3 are designed to be used side-by-side, since they are 
binary incompatible. You cannot expect that anything using c-lang is 
immediately ported to c-lang3.

Use c-lang for c-configurations. However, nothing prevents you from using c-
lang3 in *your* code.

Development of a version using Java 5 has started some days ago, so may take 
quite some time for it to be finished.
