Do you have all the required jars in your classpath? CompareToBuilder belongs to commons-lang. — Andreas, Dec 13 '11 at 10:59
Thanks for answering Andreas! I'm not sure about it! Is commons-lang inside apache library? — haltman, Dec 13 '11 at 11:14
Apache has lot's of projects which releases libraries. The library which contains your class has the name commons-lang- — Andreas, Dec 13 '11 at 11:49
Excuse me how can I extract it? I've imported latest one commons-lang3-3.1.jar — haltman, Dec 13 '11 at 12:11
It depends on the method how you start your application. If you start it from the commandline you could send me the commandline (something like java -cp xx.jar.. MyStartClass). If you start it from an IDE the IDE generates a commandline and starts the program. In Eclipse you get the commandline when you go to the debug-view and do a right-click on the running process. Choose properties and you see the whole commandline with the effective classpath. Do you use eclipse? — Andreas, Dec 13 '11 at 12:53

Commons Lang 3 is not backward compatible with 2.x. You'll have to download 2.6.

You might also want to investigate Maven or Ant+Ivy to make this kind of dependency resolution a bit easier.

Found it ;-) The commons lang is in the classpath, but it seems to be the wrong version. The requested package is org.apache.commons.lang.builder, which is valid for commons-lang 2.x in commons-lang3 the package is 'org.apache.commons.lang3.builder'. So you have to include a commons-lang 2.x
