How to fix Cloudant-client connection error - cloudant

Question

I used cloudant-client-1.0.0.jar to make a test to check the connection to cloudant server as:
import com.cloudant.client.api.CloudantClient;
import com.cloudant.client.api.Database;
public class test {
private CloudantClient client=null;
public CloudantClient connect(){
client=new CloudantClient("xxx", "xxx", "xxx");
System.out.println("Connection successful! "+client.getBaseUri());
return client;
}
public Database getDb(String dbName){
Database db=connect().database(dbName, true);
System.out.println("Datase avaible - "+db.getDBUri());
return db;
}
public static void main(String[] args){
new test().getDb("_user");
}
}
However, the system shows errors:
Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/client/methods/HttpEntityEnclosingRequestBase
at connection.test.connect(test.java:13)
at connection.test.getDb(test.java:21)

You're missing a dependency for the library, Apache http client. However you should use Maven, gradle or a similar build tool which understands Maven repositories. You should also look at upgrading to 2.4.1, it contains numerous improvements and bug fixes.
