I am trying to query on Elasticsearch , But unable to run its jar.

java -jar connect.jar

i have put dependencies in my target jar

Below is the error:

Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again

it's just to run a simple java code ,

public static void main(String[] args) {
	BasicConfigurator.configure();
	Settings settings = Settings.settingsBuilder().put("cluster.name", "elasticsearch").put("client.transport.sniff", false)
			.build();
	TransportClient client = TransportClient.builder().settings(settings).build();
	client.addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress(new InetSocketAddress("X.X.X.X", 9300)));
		
}

my pom.xml looks like ,

<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>

i have put dependencies in my target jar as you can see the pom.xml have defined the folder "dependency-jars"

Is there something I am missing?

Thank you for suggestions.

Did you verify the dependencies actually ended up in your jar? The error message to me looks very much like they didn't make it.
