Getting exception while trying to build SsmClient from aws-sdk-java version 2

Question

The exception I am getting --

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/impl/client/DefaultClientConnectionReuseStrategy
at org.jboss.resteasy.core.ExceptionHandler.handleApplicationException(ExceptionHandler.java:76)
  at org.jboss.resteasy.core.ExceptionHandler.handleException(ExceptionHandler.java:212)

The code block where exception is occurring --

//The region value being passed is "us-east-1" and paramKeyPath is the key present in aws systems //manager.
public String getParameterUsingAwsSSM(String paramKeyPath, String region) throws Exception {
        String paramKeyValue = null;
        System.out.println("Key path in AWS systems manager :: " + paramKeyPath);
        try {
            Region newRegion = Region.of(region);
                        //The below line gets printed---
            System.out.println("Region:: " + newRegion);
                        //Exception occurs in below line most probably---
            SsmClient ssmClient = SsmClient.builder().region(newRegion).build();
                        //The below line doesn't get printed---
            System.out.println("successfully got ssmclient");
            GetParameterRequest parameterRequest = GetParameterRequest.builder().name(paramKeyPath)
                    .withDecryption(Boolean.TRUE).build();
            System.out.println("successfully parameterRequest fetched");
            GetParameterResponse parameterResponse = ssmClient.getParameter(parameterRequest);
            System.out.println("successfully parameterResponse fetched");
            paramKeyValue = parameterResponse.parameter().value();
            System.out.println("The value of param is ::: "+
                    parameterResponse.parameter().value());
        } catch (Exception exception) {
            System.out.println("Exception from getParameterUsingAwsSSM() : "+ exception);
            throw exception;
        }
        return paramKeyValue;
    }

Can someone please help me with this? I have been stuck in this since 3 days.

I was expecting to get the parameter value from aws parameter store but I am getting the above mentioned exception, I tried adding org.apache.httpcomponents.httpclient dependency also to my project but still not working.
