Your scope should not be provided unless you're deploying to a host where it will, somehow, already be provided. Use compile instead.

If you are asking for how to specify the dependency on Commons-IO in the pom.xml:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>commons-io</groupId>
        <artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
        <version>2.1</version>
    </dependency>

Check your version of commons-lang, mine was version 2.6 used sudo find / | grep commons-lang

add to the dependencies before plugins and ensure id starts with I not i:

<dependency> 
    <groupId>commons-lang</groupId> 
    <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId> 
    <version>2.6</version>
</dependency> 

Does not build as per wiki there is no controller/opendaylight/distribution/opendaylight/target in order to ./run.sh So I am looking for that now ??

Try running the following commands and examine the output:

$ mvn dependency:tree
$ mvn help:effective-pom

Look for commons-lang, maybe something will draw your attention like excludes or dependency overrides. Also, is:

$ mvn dependency:copy-dependencies

copying commons-lang JAR to your target?

Try this:

Copy<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-collections4</artifactId>
    <version>4.0</version>
</dependency>
