Third Party Modules with Grape (HTTPBuilder in particular)

[J Solomon]

I'm currently running Groovy 1.8.8 on Java 1.6.0_16. I have a grails project that I'm trying to make simple get requests to and HTTPBuilder looks like just the tool for this type of job. I've hit a brick wall with this and I'm not sure where to go from here. I've used Grape to install the http-builder module via the following command:

grape install org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder http-builder 0.6

Looks like Grape picks up the dependencies and installs everything:

grape list
commons-primitives commons-primitives  [1.0]
org.apache apache  [3, 9, 4, 1]
antlr antlr  [2.7.7]
org.codehaus.groovy groovy  [1.7.11, 1.8.8]
asm asm-tree  [3.2]
asm asm  [3.2]

org.apache.httpcomponents httpcore  [4.2.1, 4.0.1]
org.apache.httpcomponents project  [4.1, 6, 4.0]
org.apache.httpcomponents httpcomponents-core  [4.2.1, 4.0.1]
org.apache.httpcomponents httpcomponents-client  [4.0.3, 4.2.1]
commons-logging commons-logging  [1.1.1]

net.sf.json-lib json-lib  [2.3]
net.sourceforge.nekohtml nekohtml  [1.9.16, 1.9.9]
commons-collections commons-collections  [3.2.1]

Now I would assume that if i fired up a groovy console, I would be able to import any of these classes, but I'm not able to:

import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder

but I get the following error:

groovy> import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder 
 
1 compilation error:

unable to resolve class groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
 at line: 1, column: 1

Am I missing something here?
