Geoffrey De Smet created DROOLS-764: --------------------------------------- Summary: Delete the dependency to commons-lang 2 in all poms in Drools and jBPM (use commons-lang 3 instead) Key: DROOLS-764 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-764 Project: Drools Issue Type: Task Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet Assignee: Michael Biarnes Kiefer Priority: Minor Make an inventory of all modules that still use commons-lang and ask their owners to replace the commons-lang 2 usage with commons-lang 3. See recipe below how they can quickly do that. Once all our modules are upgraded, see if we can remove the commons-lang 2 dependency as much as possible (including the ip-bom hopefully). {code} Currently we have commons-lang 2.6 and 3.1 in our classpath (which is not a problem because they use a different package namespace). Nevertheless, having it twice doesn't look good and 2.6 might miss security fixes. Luckily upgrading is easy (it took me 15 minutes for optaplanner): 1) Replace: <dependency> <groupId>commons-lang</groupId> <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId> </dependency> with <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId> <artifactId>commons-lang3</artifactId> </dependency> (Both are already in the ip-bom, so no need to worry about <version>) 2) Replace "import org.apache.commons.lang." with "import org.apache.commons.lang3." I had about 170 occurrences. 3) Compile. If you have a compile error, look for that class on: https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/article3_0.html I only had 1 error. Replacing "StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml(s)" with "StringEscapeUtils.ESCAPE_HTML4.translate(s)" fixed that. {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.11#6341)
