Solution

The class “HierarchicalStreamReader” class belong to “xstream.jar“. If you are using Maven, declares following dependency in your pom.xml file.


	<dependency>
		<groupId>com.thoughtworks.xstream</groupId>
		<artifactId>xstream</artifactId>
		<version>1.3.1</version>
	</dependency>
Note
For Ant user, just download the “xstream.jar” from http://xstream.codehaus.org/ directly.

fyi – In my case by adding you suggested latest maven dependency not resolve issue, when I delete .m2 (local repository) and when I again import project, issue disappears.
