AWS SDK: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
<p>Whenever I try to send mail via AWS SDK, I get the following exception: <br></p>

<pre><code>java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.http.params.HttpConnectionParams.setSoKeepalive(Lorg/apache/http/params/HttpParams;Z)V
</code></pre>

<p>I got a hint here ( <a href="https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java/issues/422" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java/issues/422</a> ) what may be wrong: Apparently there are some conflicts between versions of HttpClient and HttpCore but I can't figure it out no matter which version I try. <br></p>

<p>part of <strong>.classpath</strong> file: <br></p>

<pre><code>&lt;classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/aws-java-sdk-1.10.69-javadoc.jar"/&gt;
