Creating an aws-ec2 instance using jclouds API

Question

I am trying to create an aws-ec2 instance using jclouds. While executing the code I am getting the exception below

"java.util.NoSuchElementException: key [aws-ec2] not in the list of providers or apis: {}".

How can I resolve this exception?

You need to make sure you have the aws-ec2-X.X.X.jar on your classpath. To get the jar file you could use a Maven pom.xml like and do a mvn dependency:copy-dependencies -DoutputDirectory="./lib"
