Getting Exception in Data Driven Framework Scenario while using Apache POI

Getting Exception in Data Driven Framework Scenario while using Apache POI
I am getting the exception when I execute a scenario using datadriven framework with Apache POI. I am not sure if its a version issue, can anyone please take a look at the exception below to see what is causing this issue and any resolution. Let me know if need anymore details.
Versions:
Eclipse: Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a)
WebDriver: 3.4.0
POI: 3.17
As a work around I have added dom4j-1.6.jar and xmlbeans-xmlpublic-2.3.0.jar, which dint seem to solve the issue.

Exception Screenshot

I think you have downloaded the wrong jar xmlbeans-xmlpublic-2.3.0.jar.
You have to download the xmlbeans-x.x.x.jar.
If you are using maven, then add this dependency in the pom.xml :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.xmlbeans</groupId>
<artifactId>xmlbeans</artifactId>
<version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>
or if you want to use jar, then download from here : mvnrepository
The screenshot of the org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.common.SystemCache class :

As i have already mentioned in a comments section that for apache poi functionality you have to add xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar dependency as well.
If you are using maven then you have to add this dependency in pom.xml along with dom4j-1.6.jar.
If you are using through jar dependency then you have to download this jar and then have to include in your project.

Maven Project can't import log4j2 classes

I created maven project, I addded log4j2 dependencies to POM, and my project obviously can't import LogManager class. Why? That's output from maven console.

you've added those dependencies to the pom, so maven knows that your project depends on log4j, but you're not executing maven right now. you're using the java executable to run your compiled code. java has no idea what a pom.xml is (since maven is an external tool).
you have several options:
list all of your dependencies in the cp argument, not just your jar. so java -cp target\your.jar;path\to\log4j2.jar;anything;else
list your dependencies in your jar file's MANIFEST.MF file. you can either list absolute paths (BAD IDEA) or file names and place your libs alongside your jar
package your jar as either jar-with-dependencies or onejar. that way it'll pack all the libs alongside your own code and will be able to find them. there is a difference between these 2 options that you better understand before you pick one.

This is because your log4j jar is not there in the classpath while running your code. Try adding the log4j jar in your classpath (in -cp switch).

JUnit RemoteTestRunner NoClassDefFoundError Junit4 Eclipse 3.7.2

I am attemping to add JUnit tests to my existing Eclipse 3.7.2 project and it seems like JUnit is not properly added to the project. I have attempting adding the JUnit jar manually. I have tried several other run configuration modifications that all result in the same error. New projects that I create also exhibit this error when I add a JUnit test.

Exception in thread "main"

Are you installing Eclipse to a directory to which you can't write? Windows 7 UAC can prevent certain files from being written, especially in C:\Program Files.... It's better to install Eclipse in a directory that you can write.

This could be caused by a classpath issue. First ensure that you definitely have the junit.jar in your build path.
In Eclipse Indigo: Go to “Package Explorer” right-hand click > ‘Build Path’ > ‘Configure Build Path’ > in the Libraries tab. There you should the junit.jar.
Generally creating the test case within Eclipse adds this jar to the build path.
The same exception could also occur if you have a build path conflict. Going to Window > Show View > 'Markers' shows you the problems with the project. (In my case there was a circular reference)

Java: NoClassDefFoundError using Apache Commons CLI 1.2

I am using the Apache Commons CLI 1.2 to parse command line arguments in Java. I had run into the NoClassDefFoundError when trying to run my java class but solved it by fixing the class-paths.
Now I have the same exception but in regards to the actual commons-cli classes as is shown below:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/cl i/CommandLineParser Caused by:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.cli.CommandLineP arser

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) Could not find the main class: com.amirsys.score.api.script.CMDContentPusher.
The only thing I could think of is to set the class path to the commons-cli jar but that did not work. I haven't been able to find a solution to fixing the NoClassDefFoundError for imported classes. I thought these were compiled into the .class files?

Commons CLI is not in the classpath at runtime. If you struggle to get the classpath right you can try to package your application as a single big jar file containing all its dependencies, including Commons CLI. There are many tools to achieve that (jarjar, onejar, Maven shade plugin...)

Java/eclipse/hibernate

I'm a .net dev, usually do this using nhibernate and can work with that fine. I'm doing a project which needs to be written in Java and have the following issue:
All I have so far is a blank java project setup in eclipse. I have C:\work\lib\java\cp\hibernate3.jar in the Referenced Libraries node in the package explorer.
in my code (main) i'm doing this
Configuration config = new Configuration().
setProperty("hibernate.dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect").
setProperty("hibernate.connection.driver_class", "org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver").
setProperty("hibernate.connection.url", "jdbc:hsqldb:mem:RefenceDb").
setProperty("hibernate.connection.username", "sa").
setProperty("hibernate.connection.password", "").
setProperty("hibernate.connection.pool_size", "1").
setProperty("hibernate.connection.autocommit", "true").
setProperty("hibernate.cache.provider_class", "org.hibernate.cache.HashtableCacheProvider").
setProperty("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "create-drop").
setProperty("hibernate.show_sql", "true").
addClass(Boy.class);
and in the consol i have:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/dom4j/DocumentException
at ReferenceApplication.Main.main(Main.java:15)

any ideas?
the path C:\work\lib\java\cp\ is in the classpath

While the other answers here referencing dom4j are correct, you will soon find there a dozen or so other dependencies.
Starting from total scratch is a noble pursuit, but I would actually recommend giving yourself a head start by installing Maven (for dependency management) and running mvn archetype:generate from the command line. If you're doing a web application (which you may not be based on the question text) selecting "maven-archetype-j2ee-simple" or "maven-archetype-webapp" would be a pretty good kickstart. Doing so will set up a project for you that can then be used in eclipse (you could even use m2eclipse plugin to do dependency management from within eclipse).
It will turn out that Maven has a learning curve of its own, but my opinion is that the benefits outweigh the costs.
Good luck!

Download dom4j and put it on your classpath (in the referenced libraries tab)

From the stack trace, it looks like you're missing dom4j.jar. Hibernate (for Java) has a ton of dependencies. Make sure that you have all of Hibernates required dependencies added to your Eclipse project.

You need to put the dom4j jar on your classpath. You should be able to get it here:
http://www.dom4j.org/download.html
I think that hibernate uses version 1.6.1

To make all this easier, I would quickly learn Maven and then use the m2eclipse plugin.
I know it's a learning curve, but it will make everything massively easier at deploy time.
