Connect to Cloudant Client Java

Question

I'm trying to connect to a Cloudant client, and I've taken an example of code that I've found on GitHub.

public ClientBuilder getCloudantClient(String username, String password) {
    ClientBuilder clientBuilder = ClientBuilder.account(username).
            username(username).password(password);
    return clientBuilder;
}

Ideally, once that method returns, I try to build and return the database by doing:

CloudantClient client = (CloudantClient) cloudantRestClient.getCloudantClient(USERNAME, PASSWORD).build();
Database database = client.database(DATABASE, true);

But for some reason, I'm getting a compile error:

The method account(String) is undefined for the type ClientBuilder

My pom.xml dependencies for Cloudant and JUnit tests is as follows:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>3.8.1</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.cloudant</groupId>
      <artifactId>cloudant-client</artifactId>
      <version>2.3.0</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-server</artifactId>
        <version>1.19</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId>
        <version>2.22.1</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.mockito</groupId>
        <artifactId>mockito-all</artifactId>
        <version>1.10.19</version>
    </dependency>

I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. Is this the correct way to go with this?

You imported wrong ClientBuilder, check it's indeed com.cloudant.client.api.ClientBuilder
