Jackcess / Feature Requests / #40 Update to Java 11 - replace commons-lang with commons-lang3

Could you please make Jackcess runnable with OpenJDK 11 and especially replace the obsolete library commons-lang with commons-lang3? commons-lang throws Exceptions in certain cases when used with Java 9 or higher. The depedency to commons-lang in Jackcess leads to transitive depedencies in libraries depending on jackcess (e.g.

java - Apache Commons Lang: Can the "incompatibilities" between 'lang' and 'lang3' cause different runtime results? - Stack Overflow

Top answer

Did you read their migration guide?

It says that despite the backwards incompatibility tag on v3, most upgrades are as simple as updating imports to use lang3 in place of lang.

There are some classes and methods that were removed, which any IDE and compiler will quickly identify for you.

I think the more dangerous areas are where the behavior and contracts of methods has changed. For example, see this note:

StringUtils.isAlpha, isNumeric and isAlphanumeric now all return false when passed an empty String. Previously they returned true.

If your code is using those methods, you may see different behavior. It's gonna be up to you to see if your code uses them and if so, if you care.

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?

Adding following dependency to pom.xml in dependencies tag helped me:

    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-lang3</artifactId>
    <version>3.1</version>

You can have both Lang2 and Lang3 in your classpath. Due to incompatibility of Lang2 and Lang3, the package is intentionally changed from org.apache.commons.lang to org.apache.commons.lang3 so that you can have both version in classpath without conflict

Simplifying Java with Apache Commons Lang 3 - Practical Examples | by Anas Aboreeda | Medium

February 21, 2024 - Reflection is powerful in Java but can be tricky. Apache Commons Lang 3 makes it more accessible. import org.apache.commons.lang3.reflect.FieldUtils; public class ReflectionExamples { private String secret = "shh"; public static void main(String[] args) throws IllegalAccessException { ReflectionExamples example = new ReflectionExamples(); // Access and modify private fields safely String secretValue = (String) FieldUtils.readField(example, "secret", true); System.out.println("Secret value: " + secretValue); FieldUtils.writeField(example, "secret", "not a secret anymore", true); secretValue = (String) FieldUtils.readField(example, "secret", true); System.out.println("Modified secret value: " + secretValue); } }

java - What is the difference between Apache Commons Lang3 vs Apache Commons Text? - Stack Overflow

Top answer

Well, the text method states

This code has been adapted from Apache Commons Lang 3.5.

Looks like they simply plan on moving the method from one library to the other. You'd have to get the authors of that code to explain why.

However, worth pointing out that lang3 is a compile dependency of text, therefore if you included text, you would have lang3 anyway

https://github.com/apache/commons-text/blob/master/pom.xml#L61-L65

Text utils in commons-lang3 are marked with deprecation and the Javadoc points to commons-text
