Do below steps

• Add below dependency to your pom.xml (if using maven)
  
     org.apache.commons
     commons-text
     1.4
  

• Import correct package as below
  import org.apache.commons.text.StringEscapeUtils;

• There is no such method unescapeHtml() in this class anymore, instead its two variations are available unescapeHtml3() and unescapeHtml4()
• Use unescapeHtml3() to unescape Html 3.0 characters
• Use unescapeHtml4() to unescape Html 4.0 characters
