I’m trying to use the new Atlassian JGitFlow library from within Gradle, but I seem to have errors.

```gradle
buildscript{
    repositories{
        mavenRepo (name:'Maven Central Proxy', url:'http://myserver:8089/nexus/content/repositories/central/')
    }
    dependencies{
        classpath 'com.atlassian.jgitflow:jgit-flow:0.9'
    }
  }
  task initFlow << {
    //your local working copy is now on the develop branch
    JGitFlow flow = JGitFlow.getOrInit(new File("."));
}

```

And the error is:

```gradle
Caused by: org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
build file 'C:\path\to\gdl-JGitFlow\build.gradle': 13: unable to resolve class JGitFlow
 @ line 13, column 14.
       JGitFlow flow = JGitFlow.getOrInit(new File("."));
                ^

You need to add an import for the class.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I had tried that:

```gradle
buildscript{
    repositories{
        mavenRepo (name:'Maven Central Proxy', url:'http://myserver:8089/nexus/content/repositories/central/')
    }
    dependencies{
        classpath 'com.atlassian.jgitflow:jgit-flow:0.9'
    }
  }
import com.atlassian.jgitflow.core.JGitFlow
  task initFlow << {
    //your local working copy is now on the develop branch
    JGitFlow flow = JGitFlow.getOrInit(new File("."));
}

```

but still had:

```gradle
AILURE: Build failed with an exception.
  * Where:
Build file 'C:\LV\src\IdeaProjects\gdl-JGitFlow\build.gradle' line: 11
  * What went wrong:
Could not compile build file 'C:\LV\src\IdeaProjects\gdl-JGitFlow\build.gradle'.

     ^
      1 error

You have the wrong dependency.

It should be: 'classpath ‘com.atlassian.jgitflow:jgit-flow-core:0.9’
