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.

3Q
just add to the manifest.mf file in the related META-INF folder of projects.
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.
thanks!!!!^^;
