Critical: commons-lang2.6 to commons-lang3 Migration - Dependency Conflict with SmartClient Framework - SmartClient Forums

Apache commons lang and lang3
The package name for the module org.apache.commons commons-lang is different between 2.X and 3.X - it's supposed to be possible for both packages to be on the classpath at the same time · from http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/ Note that Lang 3.0 (and subsequent versions) use a different package (org.apache.commons.lang3) than the previous versions (org.apache.commons.lang), allowing it to be used at the same time as an earlier version.
