Force a play framework dependency

I'm trying Play Framework 2.3.8 (Java) to use a specific sbt import.

To the build.sbt I've added:

libraryDependencies += "org.apache.httpcomponents" % "httpcore" % "4.4.1"

The class I'm using from this library is using play's core dependency: org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcode:4.0.1

I can't seem to force play to use the newer version. The problem that I am experiencing is with the class:

import org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils;

The 4.0.1 version doesn't support the consume method in:

EntityUtils.consume(entity)

while version 4.4.1 does.

How do I force Play Framework to use the 4.4.1 version? I've tried to delete it but play re-downloads the older version when I build.

Try this:

dependencyOverrides += "org.apache.httpcomponents" % "httpcore" % "4.4.1"

See more details in the Overriding a version section of the Library Management docs.
