ClassNotFoundException: HashCodeBuilder

Hey folks,

I've run into a problem (otherwise I wouldn't be posting here, eh).
I am using the HashCodeBuilder of http://commons.apache.org/lang/.
I am referencing it as library which I am including my plugin, but as soon as I am trying to run the plugin, I am getting the ClassNotFoundException

Code:java

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.HashCodeBuilder

as soon as I am trying to create a new instance of it

Code:java

new HashCodeBuilder();

(which means it is found when compiled, but not when running).

I've been using google to find a solution, but none of them leaded to success yet.
I tried including the class-path in my manifest file, but that didn't work either.

My project structure is like this:
src/
libs/ <- the commons-lang3-3.1.jar is in there, I am referencing that
...

and I am exporting all of it.
Any ideas?

Bump.

You are better off figuring how to install maven and shade in the CommonsAPI into your jar. Spout uses Apache libs for a bunch of things, and we include them all in the maven build process.

 

Ok, finally got Maven to work (it's quite user-unfriendly) and shaded it.
It's working now, thanks.
