We use Asciidoctor in the Maven build of our product, to generate HTML and PDF files from Asciidoc. With the version combination listed below, the build fails with a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/asciidoctor/DirectoryWalker.

- asciidoctor-maven: 1.6.0
- asciidoctorj: 2.2.0
- asciidoctorj-diagram: 2.0.1
- asciidoctorj-pdf: 1.5.3

The actual package for the DirectoryWalker class seems to be org.asciidoctor.jruby, not org.asciidoctor. All usages and references to DirectoryWalker that I've been able to find are correctly using org.asciidoctor.jruby. So I'm stumped as to where the issue comes from / whether it's on my side or not (which is why I haven't filed this as an issue on GitHub). Does anyone have an idea what the cause could be?
