cannot create EMRclient - Sdkclientexception

ive been trying to create a cluster using the Emrclient

EmrClient emrClient = EmrClient.builder().
        region(Region.US_EAST_1).
        credentialsProvider(EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider.create()).
        build();

when i try to run the code, i get an SDKexception:

Exception in thread "main" software.amazon.awssdk.core.exception.SdkClientException: Unable to load an HTTP implementation from any provider in the chain. You must declare a dependency on an appropriate HTTP implementation or pass in an SdkHttpClient explicitly to the client builder.

after searching online in the aws docs, i found that to create the EMRclient we need to make the builder look like this:

EmrClient emrClient = EmrClient.builder().
        region(Region.US_EAST_1).
        credentialsProvider(EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider.create()).
        httpClient(ApacheHttpClient.builder().build()).
        build();

but no matter what i do, my IDE doesnt recognize the class ApacheHttpClient, ive tried to import : import software.amazon.awssdk.http.apache.ApacheHttpClient; but it doesnt recognize it even though i added it to my POM:
