Upgrading to commons-collections4 throws NoClassDefFoundError

Question

I am upgrading the libraries in my pom of an older project and I have encountered a problem while upgrading from org.apache.commons commons-collections 3.2.1 to org.apache.commons commons-collections4 4.0. I know that it is not backwards compatible but I thought I made the necessary adjustments.The old jar is not in the project repository anymore.

It compiles fine but when I run the tests I always get this exception:

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/collections/map/LRUMap
    at org.hibernate.util.SimpleMRUCache.init(SimpleMRUCache.java:71)
    at org.hibernate.util.SimpleMRUCache.<init>(SimpleMRUCache.java:55)
    at org.hibernate.engine.query.QueryPlanCache.<init>(QueryPlanCache.java:76)
    at org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl.<init>(SessionFactoryImpl.java:237)

(Full stacktrace at the bottom)

I have run mvm dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.commons:commons-collection* but it only shows me classes depending on commons-collections4, I see nothing for that old library.

Is there a way to fix this without adding the old dependency to the pom as well?

I am using hibernate 3.6.0.Final.

i guess this would help you - http://javarevisited.blogspot.in/2011/06/noclassdeffounderror-exception-in.html — Ashish Shetkar, Sep 03 '15 at 14:09
@AshishShetkar No, I already know those things. I am asking which dependency I should adapt and how so it uses the new jar so I don't have to add the old one too. — LisaMM, Sep 03 '15 at 14:11

Well, your version of hibernate depends on commons-collections of version 3+.

Here you can see that hibernate 3.6.* depends on commons-collections of version 3.1.

Here you can see that even Hibernate 4.0.* depends on commons-collections version 3.2.1.

And here you can see that Hibernate 4.1.* dropped the dependency on commons-collections completely.

Therefore, you have several options:

Upgrade to hibernate version 4.1.*.
Use both jars together. They use different package names, therefore nothing should break.
If you are feeling experimental, you can try using a proxy pattern to emulate old version of LRUMap class redirecting the calls to new version of LRUMap class (different package), and hope that nothing else breaks in Hibernate, otherwise flood proxies all over the place.

I have tried updating to hibernate 4.* but unfortunately too much broke, until we fix that I will try and use both jars. – LisaMM Sep 03 '15 at 14:16
Pretty much this I think. Option 3 is a bit hard because it's %99 that some other thing also broke and you will be introducing code to project that most people won't understant why it exists at first look. – uylmz Sep 03 '15 at 14:18

Yes, I've just noticed that commons4 use totally different package names. Therefore using both jars is another option, which I added to my answer. – bezmax Sep 03 '15 at 14:19
Is there an immediate downside of option 2? Just wondering. Couldn't it cause weird problems with serializing etc.? – uylmz Sep 03 '15 at 14:25

Nope, not really. As they use totally different package names, they are considered totally different pieces of code that happen to have same class names. – bezmax Sep 03 '15 at 14:26
