json.accumulate("message", pair);

commons-beanutils.jar
commons-collections-3.2.1.jar
commons-lang.jar
commons-lang3-3.5.jar
commons-logging-1.2.jar
ezmorph-1.0.6.jar

None of these other solutions solved my issue. My issue was that another commons-lang dependency (a lower version) was being pulled in by another dependency. If you open the dependency hierarchy in eclipse and search for org.apache.commons.lang you should be able to find the dependency that is pulling it in. Add an exclusion under that dependency in the pom as follows:

<dependency>
    <groupId>Problem dependency group</groupId>
    <artifactId>Problem dependency</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
            <artifactId>org.apache.commons.lang</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

This should stop the problem dependency from pulling in the other version of commons-lang and should fix the noSuchMethodError.

I got the same error with a Maven build. I accidentally imported commons.lang utility, when I should have imported commons.lang3. I would have thought this would be caught in the compile/build phase and not as a runtime exception.

Finally I found the issue, This is due to commons-lang.jar and commons-lang3-3.5.jar conflict. So I have removed commons-lang.jar from Gradle task. Now it is working without any issue.
