NoClassDefFoundError problems with help of Apache Commons Validator

Question

Getting an error if using Apache Commons Validator:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/oro/text/perl/Perl5Util

Even if, Apache Commons Validator /dep

Answer 1

I was having this issue on version 1.3.1 of Apache's Validator. I rolled back to 1.3.0 and it included the oro dependency just fine.

If you don't rely on something from the dot release, perhaps this could work for you as well.
