Amazon SQS Legacy Profile Format Warning

amazon-web-services, java, maven

Solution

This is most likely referring to your config file that is holding part of your aws credentials. Where this is on your machine will depend on what OS you are using, but for example on my Mac it is in \users\myname.aws\config

The old format was like this (as example):

[profile <profilename>]
region=us-east-1
output=json

and now should look like this instead:

[<profilename>]
region=us-east-1
output=json

Problem

I am posting messages to a Amazon SQS queue. At start up, I am getting the following warning in my logs. ``` [http-nio-9090-exec-2][BasicProfileConfigLoader] The legacy profile format requires the 'profile ' prefix before the profile name. The latest code does not require such prefix, and will consider it as part of the profile name. Please remove the prefix if you are seeing this warning. ``` I am using the following version of Amazon SQS with Maven: ``` <dependency> <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId> <artifactId>aws-java-sdk-sqs</artifactId> <version>1.11.125</version> </dependency> ``` How can I get rid of this warning?
