NoClassDefFoundError: org/jsoup/safety/Whitelist

Question

I recently updated our pom.xml with new Jsoup dependency version of 1.15.3, since then I am receiving "NoClassDefFoundError: org/jsoup/safety/Whitelist". Is there a different version that I can use to resolve this issue ?

Answer 1

See the CHANGELOG.md:

  * Improvement: renamed the Whitelist class to Safelist, with the
    goal of more inclusive language. A shim is provided
    for backwards compatibility (source and binary). This shim is marked as deprecated and will be removed in the
    jsoup 1.15.1 release.

Apparently, Whitelist has been removed completely with version 1.15.1. Use Safelist instead or revert to an older version of jsoup.
