How to import groovyx.net.http

I don't understand maven or grape, and I'm an idiot so give me the step by step if your answer is "go grap X-dependency manager and then rtfm and you're set." Where do i find and dump files to make this line work:

import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder

It says Groovy: unable to resolve class groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder

Also I am unable to import groovyx.net.http.ContentType.URLENC It says unable to resolve class groovyx.net.http.ContentType.URLENC

Update:

apparently you can uncomment the line mavenRepo "http://repository.codehaus.org" in BuildConfig.groovy

Solution

  • Since you're talking about BuildConfig.groovy I assume the question is targeted at using HttpBuilder in a grails application. If so, you could either use

    compile('org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder:http-builder:0.5.0') {
        excludes "commons-logging", "xml-apis", "groovy"
}

    in the dependencies-section of BuildConfig.groovy, or, even more easier, just install the rest plugin:

    grails install-plugin rest
