Okhttp3 com.square does not exist

Question

I am using Netbeans and I've created java project with Maven. I added this dependency.

 <dependency>
    <groupId>com.squareup.okhttp</groupId>
    <artifactId>okhttp</artifactId>
    <version>2.7.2</version>
</dependency>

It worked, I could import com.squareup.okhttp.*. After seeing some code on the web I realized that many people are using the version 3+. I tried to change the package to:

updated I've typed groupid wrongly in the question "com.squareup.okhttp" but in my code it was right "com.squareup.okhttp3".

<dependency>
<groupId>com.squareup.okhttp3</groupId>
<artifactId>okhttp</artifactId>
<version>3.9.0</version>

But I couldn't import com.squareup.okhttp3 ( package com.squareup does not exist). Why? I am new to the Java language itself and all the IDEs and tools that support it.

I made I mistake in my code the groupid is right. I will update the question. — Diego Alves, Jan 18 '18 at 12:04
I figured it out. The import is just okhttp3: "import okhttp3" without com.square. — Diego Alves, Jan 18 '18 at 12:15

Okhttp3 does not exist is due to a bug in Intellij IDE; however, there is a get-around:

Place your 'com.squareup.okhttp3' dependency block at the end of the 'dependencies' list in the pom.xml file.
'import okhttp3...' is the right thing to to in your Java file.

pom.xml:　

        ...
        <dependency>
           <groupId>com.squareup.okhttp3</groupId>
           <artifactId>okhttp</artifactId>
           <version>4.5.0</version>
        </dependency>
   </dependencies>

Java file:

import okhttp3.OkHttpClient;
import okhttp3.Request;
import okhttp3.Response;

The correct coordinates for okhttp3 are:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.squareup.okhttp3</groupId>
    <artifactId>okhttp</artifactId>
    <version>3.9.1</version>
</dependency>

Note that the groupId has changed from com.squareup.okhttp to com.squareup.okhttp3.

So, if you update your pom.xml, replacing what you had for okhttp with what I posted above then you'll be able to resolve the okhttp classes.

For future reference you can find the okhttp artifacts on Maven Central.

Thanks @glytching for spotting my mistake but in my code the dependency is set right. — Diego Alves, Jan 18 '18 at 12:10
