I wouldn't make this assumption too fast.

Usually, this is the case. However, in my experience, I usually only see a
ClassNotFoundException when using reflection to load a class and the class
is not found. In most other cases, I see a NoClassDefFoundError. The
first thing to make sure of is that the class mentioned in the error
message is on the classpath. If it is, then it means what you said; a
dependency of said class is missing leading to it not being able to be
properly loaded. If it isn't, then it can mean that the class was actually
not found.

If commons-collections is on the classpath, then it very well could be an
issue of multiple copies where at particular version is not what is
required. Or it could be a matter of the classloader hierarchy.
