I had the same problem but then i came to know that i was missing a jar to add, this jar is not inside the lib folder you can find it immediately outside the lib folder: client-combined-3.0.1-nodeps.jar

You just need to import two links:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

or you can follow that tutorial:

It works for me.

Answer 4

WebDriver3.0 will support the latest firefox also. but you have to set the properties for that

download "geckodriver.exe" file and you can try this.

System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette",
            "E:\\SeleniumAutomation\\geckodriver-v0.9.0-win64\\geckodriver.exe");
    driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com/");

This error happens when you use Eclipse as IDE and try to run code that doesn't even compile. Check your Problems view in Eclipse, and fix the compilation errors before executing the application.
