Running a Scala Script with external dependencies

Question

I have the following jars under /Users/joe/.scala/lib:

commons-codec-1.4.jar       
httpclient-4.1.1.jar        
httpcore-4.1.jar
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar   
ht         


        

Answer 1

I think with 4.1.1 the class is org.apache.http.client.HttpClient instead of org.apache.commons.httpclient, and it's an interface. So you might want

new org.apache.http.client.DefaultHttpClient()

instead of

new org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient()

It might well have been different in an earlier version.
