When i searched for that exception, i came across a solution that lucene-core-xxx.jar would be missing along with some dependency jars. I already have lucene-core-7.4.0.jar.

Could you try with Elasticsearch 6.4.2 instead to see if it changes anything?

So you are probably missing some dependencies, or you are providing the wrong ones.

Would be much easier to use a dependency manager like Maven or Gradle.

In the dependency hierarchy its showing many jars. Those are the jars which i need to add or elasticsearch-6.4.0 contains those dependencies?

You need to depend on the High Level Rest client and not elasticsearch itself. Elasticsearch will come as a transitive dependency.

Then you need to add all the jars to your classpath. And make sure it does not conflict with any other jar from your own project.

the jars shown below elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client are the jars needed to be added or the rest high level client jar already contains it?
