ClientWithResponseHandler example Gives an ERROR? - httpclient

Question

I've tried hard to solve this and I couldn't. I'm trying to use httpClient 4.1.2 from apache. As logic I started with the example, the problem is that I'm having some strange error that I don't understand. This is the deal:
package ClientWithResponseHandler;
import org.apache.http.client.ResponseHandler;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.BasicResponseHandler;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
public class Main {
public final static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
try {
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://www.google.com/");
System.out.println("executing request " + httpget.getURI());
// Create a response handler
ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
String responseBody = **httpclient.execute(httpget, responseHandler);**
System.out.println("----------------------------------------");
System.out.println(responseBody);
System.out.println("----------------------------------------");
} finally {
// When HttpClient instance is no longer needed,
// shut down the connection manager to ensure
// immediate deallocation of all system resources
httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
}
}
}
The error is with "httpclient.execute(httpget, responseHandler);" IT says that it cannot find the method execute(HttpGet,ResponseHandler)
The question shouldn't the example work? What am I doing wrong?! :S

I got the same error too. I resolved it by adding the "httpcore-4.2.1.jar". Then it started complaining about the Class Def not found for logging. So I added "commons-logging-1.1.1.jar" and now I think it works fine. Both these files can be found along with "httpclient-4.2.1.jar".
Hope this helps.
