NoSuchMethodError in 6.4.0 use of MavenEmbedderUtils / Plexus

[arnie....@mac.com]

I have a project using Drools 4.x. I've migrated the code to use the 6.4.0 API. But when running code:

SpreadsheetCompiler compiler = new SpreadsheetCompiler();
String drl = compiler.compile(getFileAsStream(ruleName), InputType.XLS);
kfs.write(ruleName, drl);
KieBuilder kieBuilder = kieServices.newKieBuilder(kfs);
kieBuilder.buildAll();
if (kieBuilder.getResults().hasMessages(org.kie.api.builder.Message.Level.ERROR)) {
    throw new RuntimeException("Build time Errors: " + kieBuilder.getResults().toString());
}
kieContainer = kieServices.newKieContainer(kieServices.getRepository().getDefaultReleaseId());

it bombs on .buildAll(), as shown below:

I have tried updating many of the jars with no luck. I had to add plexus-container-default because without it, it thows a different error:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.codehaus.plexus.component.repository.exception.ComponentLookupException

That was the first error I encountered with the jar libs that came in the distribution.

I noticed another message mentioning the fact that the maven embedder utils is using an ancient library. Looks like this hasn't been fixed?

Ok, found what I was doing wrong. The requisite files are included, just some of their names are confusing and there's no cross-reference to show which ones are used when using a given subsystem.

I know this is ages old. But I am having the exact same issue, with similar code, it would be very helpful if you can elaborate how you fixed it.
