Not able to use htmlunitdriver in Eclipse

Question

I'm trying to use HTMLunitdriver in eclipse.

I have written

WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();

All the jar files are added in the buildpath, but I'm getting the error "HTMLunit driver cannot be resolved to a type".

Can anyone provide any pointers on this?

May be you did not import WebDriver and HtmlUnitDriver. If not then do it. — optimistic_creeper, Apr 27 '16 at 07:26

Hi arjun please downgrade to 2.52 it will surely work also i have figured it out why its not working

HtmlUnitDriver was a part of Selenium main distribution package prior to Selenium version
2.53. If you are using Selenium 2.52 or earlier you don't need to download and install 
HtmlUnitDriver, it is already there.

According to Selenium evolution strategy drivers should be separated from Selenium, 
and a driver release cycle should be synchronized with the target browser release cycle 
instead of Selenium release cycle. So this happened to HtmlUnitDriver too. It's not a part 
of the main Selenium distribution since version 2.53.

please go through the link for more info https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/htmlunit-driver Also if you want to continue with 2.53 version please download the HtmlUnitDriver form here https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/htmlunit-driver/releases
