com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.ConversionException while running Jmeter from Jenkins shell

Question

While running Jmeter jmx script from Jenkins command line I am getting the below error.

Error in NonGUIDriver java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
    Problem loading XML from:'/Users/msn/apache-jmeter-2.13/bin/testMsn.jmx',
    conversion error com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.ConversionException:
    org/apache/commons/lang3/CharUtils : org/apache/commons/lang3/CharUtils

I have all the plug-in installed in my Jmeter/lib/ext.

Can someone help me point out which jar is missing to resolve this issue

lang3.CharUtils is part of Apache Commons Lang library (http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.commons/commons-lang3). So make sure it is available on your classpath (for example commons-lang3-3.3.2.jar).

Also, make sure you are not confusing it with Commons Lang library (http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/commons-lang/commons-lang) which is a predecessor of aforementioned Apache Commons Lang. For example commons-lang-2.4.jar.
