Issue with German Language

1

Hi all,

I’m not able to create JLanguageTool with German language. Here is how I’m trying to create JLanguageTool,

    Language language = Languages.getLanguageForLocale(Locale.forLanguageTag(locale));
    JLanguageTool languageTool = new JLanguageTool(language);

I also tried,

    Language language = Languages.getLanguageForShortCode("de");
    JLanguageTool languageTool = new JLanguageTool(language);

I’m getting the following error while executing new JLanguageTool(language)

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'boolean org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils.equalsAnyIgnoreCase(java.lang.CharSequence, java.lang.CharSequence[])'

I’m using LanguageTool : 4.2.2

Hi, this looks like an issue with your Java classpath. You might have a wrong version of org.apache.commons.lang3. In any case, I’d suggest using the latest version of LT. 4.2.2 is very old.
