VariablePrepare is not working

[12AM]

Hello,
I have been using an old version of docx4j 6.1.2 and the VariablePrepare was working as expected.
However, after I updated to the new version 8.3.0 it is now giving me Docx4jException: Deprecated. I looked through the sample files to see if there is a new way to do it but with no luck.

I don't know if this would help but the dependencies used are docx4j-core and docx4j-JAXB-Internal.

Thanks for this. Just fixed, https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/commi ... 516722699d

now the project isn't running, it shows this error
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.docx4j.openpackaging.exceptions.Docx4JException

Clean; rebuild? What is your IDE?

already done that. I'm using Eclipse

Maven > Update Project ?
That class is definitely there, in docx4j-core.

sorry for the late reply, I have done that too even cleaned the server and updated the maven project but it still gives that weird error although the class is there
