Get NoClassDefFoundError for commons-lang StringUtils creating archetype

[David Karr]

Maven 3.5.2, Java 8.

This is my command line (copied directly from the docs, just changing the
artifactId):

    mvn archetype:generate -DinteractiveMode=false
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.openjdk.jmh
-DarchetypeArtifactId=jmh-java-benchmark-archetype
-DgroupId=com.att.example -DartifactId=jmhBenchmarks -Dversion=1.0
