Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I am getting the following error during run time when parse method of ShapeBuilder is being called

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.elasticsearch.common.geo.builders.ShapeBuilder

above this error was this

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/locationtech/jts/geom/Coordinate
	at org.elasticsearch.common.geo.builders.ShapeBuilder.<clinit>(ShapeBuilder.java:75) ~[elasticsearch-6.7.1.jar:6.7.1]

I am using ShapeBuilder to create geoShapeQuery in my application.

QueryBuilders.geoShapeQuery(fieldName,ShapeBuilder.parse(parser));

This used to work without any issues in 6.1.2 but ever since I upgraded to 6.7.1, I am getting the above error when the above line is being executed

Here are my dependencies:

Read this and specifically the "Also be patient" part.

It's fine to answer on your own thread after 2 or 3 days (not including weekends) if you don't have an answer.

Found the solution. Had to add the jts dependency per 6.7.1 geo query documentation
