title: Cannot instantiate the type HttpClient
body: <p>I have added the .jars to my library and I can also instantiate other classes in the JAR. What gives? I've tried to clean the project etc.</p>
  
  <p>It's a compiler-time error. Eclipse won't let me instantiate it.</p>
  
  <p>I'm importing the correct library, not the sun version, and using the default contructor, specified by their <a href="http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/tutorial.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tutorial</a></p>
  
  <pre><code>HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(Eclipse, mac, Apache HTTP, "HttpClient 4.0.1 (GA)" downloaded from <a href="http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>)</p>
