Selenium 3 InternetExplorerDriver Setup

Question

I'm trying to set up a type of boiler-plate code for WebDriver that I can give to anyone in my QA team to help them test. My problem is that I can't seem to get Internet Explorer working. It's throwing errors and I have no idea how to fix them or if its some sort of naming issue. The driver files are all in my C:\ Drive.

chromedriver.exe, geckodriver.exe, IEDriverServer.exe

Errors in the code below are //commented

  import org.openqa.selenium.By;
  import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
  import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
  import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
  import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
  import org.openqa.selenium.ie.IEDriverService; //The import org.openqa.selenium.ie.IEDriverService cannot be resolved

public class Loginmethod {

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\\\geckodriver.exe");
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\\\chromedriver.exe");
    System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "C:\\\\IEDriverServer.exe");
    WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(); //InternetExplorerDriver cannot be resolved to a type
    driver.get("http://www.google.com/");

    Thread.sleep(100);


}
}

Additionally, If anyone would know a way to test for Safari using windows 10 with selenium, that would be great.

The class you are trying to import is not the class you are using.

You are importing IEDriverService but using the InternetExplorerDriver class.

change your code to import InternetExplorerDriver.

Ahh I see. When I put in the System.setProperty line in for IE, it somehow auto-added IEDriverService in the imports section. – Matt Brennan Oct 21 '16 at 18:47
glad i could help :) – ddavison Oct 21 '16 at 18:47
After changing the code as you said, it still throws the same errors. Except in eclipse they're icon is grayed instead of being bright pink. – Matt Brennan Oct 21 '16 at 18:50
Update: Ran the code a couple times and the errors went away. Working great now! – Matt Brennan Oct 21 '16 at 18:59
