Description

I'm experimenting with Jena and RDF4J in the same application.  The RDF4J project seems to pull in an older version of commons codec which causes an exception in Jena when reading a model due to non-existence of a hashing function in commons codec prior to version 1.14.  Would it make sense to specify a minimum version for commons-codec?

 

The exception can be replicated without including RDF4J by adding the following to the application's pom.

       <dependency>
            <groupId>commons-codec</groupId>
            <artifactId>commons-codec</artifactId>
            <version>1.13</version>
            <scope>runtime</scope>
        </dependency>
