I have recently had success using the Java SDK: AWS SDK for Java. More ECS than S3, but all the AWS libraries have similar interfaces, and are pretty easy to use.

Thank you!
Use the official java sdk, period. You will be very very unhappy in the long run if you do not.
The ‘builder’ pattern used is a bit painful and tedious, but it is rock solid, fully feature complete, and actively maintained by the people who know the most about the internals such that it implements a layer of robustness and fault tolerance beyond any other I have seen to date.
Key to understanding the SDK is that with few exceptions the API is a direct 1:1 mapping to the published web interfaces – including naming conventions – and including in many cases things which are NOT published. The source is almost entirely code generated from a common base (to support cross language SDKs) – so does appear overly complex or obtuse in many places – dont let that fool you into thinking its not efficient and highly tuned.
There are a few APIs where a ‘high level’ API has been written that is language specific, making some things easier. The S3 API is one, take a look at the Transfer Manager. This provides not only a simplier interface then the raw SDK, but also features impossible by a strict ‘sdk’ → e.g. transfer manager provides for parallel streaming uploads and downloads, automatically balenced to optimize throughput and support for pause/continue and crash/recover management ( ‘think’ – uploading 100 10G files then having your system crash 3/4 the way through - you do NOT want to start over)
