Sounds like the jar that is conflicting is httpclient-4.0.1.jar. Removing it should resolve that specific error. However, it probably will not be the only conflict/error. A lot of the jars are pretty common, and could be used by CF as well, for example commons-logging-1.1.1.jar.

Since you are using CF10, have you tried loading the jars in your Application.cfc using the new feature this.javaSettings? It is basically a rip of Mark Mandel's JavaLoader.cfc. Just specify the paths of the jars you wish to load, or the directories to check for jars, ie

THIS.javaSettings = {LoadPaths = [".\folder\",".\folder\someLib.jar"] };

Obviously when using this feature, do not put the jars in {cf_root}\lib, or anywhere else in the CF class path, as it defeats the purpose of dynamic class loading.
