I'm working with TIKA-3141 recently and pushed a PR in github. As Keith suggested in the PR, maybe we should add Commons Lang to tika-core, as it seems Commons Lang are being used elsewhere in tika but not tika-core.
Historically, we have tried to keep the dependencies on Tika Core minimised, since you can't opt out of that part, and been looser with the dependencies of Tika Parsers (and especially the future Tika Parsers Modules)
Not to say we can't add it to Core, but I wanted to give some background! Nick
