Error parsing JSON in Java: ClassNotFoundException

Question

I'm trying to parse a bit of JSON in Java by following this tutorial. Because it mentions nothing about org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils other than it imports it, I figured all it was used for it to convert an InputStream into a String. I have my own code for that, so I omitted it. Here is my code:

import java.io.*;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
import net.sf.json.JSONObject;
import net.sf.json.JSONSerializer;

public class Net {
    static String returnParsedIp() throws UnsupportedEncodingException,    MalformedURLException, IOException {
    String url = "http://httpbin.org/ip";
    URLConnection connection = new URL(url).openConnection();
    connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", "UTF-8");
    InputStream response = connection.getInputStream();
    String responseString = new Scanner(response,"UTF-8").useDelimiter("\\A").next();
    //return responseString;

    JSONObject json = (JSONObject) JSONSerializer.toJSON(responseString);
    String Ip = json.getString("origin");

    return Ip;
}
}

I then call the method from my main class with:

public class DDNS {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String Ip = Net.returnParsedIp();
        System.out.println(Ip);
    }   
}

However, it throws the following error:

Any help is appreciated.

I try to do the tutorial and the dependency need a classifier: net.sf.json-lib json-lib 2.4 jdk15 — pdem, Jun 17 '14 at 12:59
@pdem Is this something for eclipse? I use Netbeans, and in Netbeans you can just add the jar as a dependency through file browsing. — Novicode, Jun 17 '14 at 13:06
Yes this this a problem for eclipse: the m2e plugin find the library, but doesn't have the classifier, we have to add it either in properties or in pom.xml source — pdem, Jun 17 '14 at 13:25

Either you don't have the Apache Commons lang and io JARs in your CLASSPATH or you have the wrong version.

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.lang.exception.NestableRuntimeException

This is Java 101. You need all the dependencies in the CLASSPATH in order to compile and run.

You were right, I was using the wrong version. I'm going to find an alternative to json-lib anyways, as it needs at least 6 more dependencies, which is ridiculous. – Novicode Jun 17 '14 at 13:43
