commons-lib has a new group and artifact id

Happy to announce the availability of v0.4.2 of commons-lib. Note that the artifact id and group id of the project has changed:

  2. Artifact id [Old => New]: wiztools-commons-lib => commons-lib.

This release fixes a error in ZipUtil.unzip() that was not failing on corrupt zip files.
