Hi,

Thanks for reporting this! Usually the tool reports such changes as "the method has been moved up type hierarchy to ...", but it failed in this case due to the lack of information about the java.lang.Object class in the analyzed archive. I've fixed the issue and regenerated reports for commons-collections.

Thank you.
