When my app starts i get this exception

```
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 
org.elasticsearch.transport.client.PreBuiltTransportClient.addPlugins(Ljava/util/Collection;Ljava/util/Collection;)
Ljava/util/Collection;

```

My dependencies are

```
compile 'org.elasticsearch.client:rest:5.4.3'
compile 'org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:5.4.3'
compile 'org.elasticsearch.client:transport:5.4.3'

```

i have changed the version to many different values but still...

NoSuchMethodError usually means that you have a different JAR on the classpath at runtime than you had at compile time. Maybe you just need to recompile your app?
