selenium configuration ChromeDriver works but ChromeOptions not found

I have just configured Selenium for Java on Eclipse on a new PC (have configured without issue for a number of times in the past) and can run a sample code
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class AutoLogin {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C://pathtodrive//chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
// Open Register
driver.get("https://google.com");
// Maximize browser
driver.manage().window().maximize();
}
}
The above code works perfectly and could see google.com open in the browser window. Now I wanted to change some of the default options like default download directory, certificate check etc. I could see the ChromeOptions.class under imported client-combined-3.141.59.jar
But when I write
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
the eclipse shows error
the import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions cannot be resolved
please advise what could be wrong? and which configuration I am missing
os: windows 10 64 bit eclipse: Helios Service Release 1
(Build id: 20100917-0705 ) 32 bit java: jre1.8.0_261 32 bit

In addition to the specified import, the driver must be properly initialized. In the code below, it works. That is, first we specify the options, then we use this variable to create a web driver instance.
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("incognito", "headless", "disable-gpu", "window-size=1366,768", "ignore-certificate-errors");
newWebDriver = new ChromeDriver(options);
And of course the corresponding import.
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;

Launching of GC when Selenium basic program is run

I am running the following code in Eclipse but my Google Chrome is not launching.
The configurations are:
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
Version: 2019-12 (4.14.0)
Have taken latest versions for GC driver.
The same code and config is working for another laptop but not on mine. Have re-installed the application several time.
All the libraries available on internet have also been imported.
package automationFramework;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.*;
public class FirstTestCase {
public static WebDriver driver;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.driver", "C:\\Users\\WC-Parul\\Downloads\\geckodriver-v0.26.0-win64.zip");
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
// Launch the Online Store Website
// driver.get("http://www.shop.demoqa.com");
// Print a Log In message to the screen
System.out.println("Successfully opened the website www.Store.Demoqa.com");
// Close the driver
// driver.quit();
}
}

you say Chrome? you are not use
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
you should
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
and you should download chromedriver.exe
Hope it helps you
If not, please take a screenshot "Java Build Path"

Extract C:\\Users\\WC-Parul\\Downloads\\geckodriver-v0.26.0-win64.zip and provide geckodriver.exe path
Something like
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.driver", "C:\\Users\\WC-Parul\\Downloads\\geckodriver.exe");
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
Make sure your downloaded correct version of geckodriver
If you want to run the code on Chrome browser then download compatible chromedriver.exe from here as per your chrome browser version and use below code:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "drive_path\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");

org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException How to define EXE path?

I have this java class code in package ChromeBrowser (That I made)
package ChromeBrowser;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class LaunchChrome{
public static void main(String[] args){
String url = "<<<The URL I want to open>>>";
WebDriver driver = setUp();
launch(driver, url);
}
static void launch(WebDriver driver, String url) {
driver.navigate().to(url);
}
static WebDriver setUp() {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Selenium\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
return driver;
}
}
But when I run it, I get the error:
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.
Steps I've taken:
I have chrome installed.
I have downloaded the webdriver, and checked it is in C:\Selenium\chromedriver.exe
java jdk is in environment path
webdriver is in environment path, added in attempt to solve, didnt work
The code compiles and runs on my colleague's machine
Expected result:
Chrome browser opens at The URL I want to open.
Do I need to define the path to the chrome executable at C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application?
Help me please thanks in advance.
EDIT:: I've tried most of the other stack overflow questions with the name of the error, but they haven't helped.

I am not really sure what the issue is but you can try below suggestions-
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:/Selenium/chromedriver.exe");
This could be a compatibility issue between the 'selenium', 'Chrome browser version' and 'chrome driver' version that you are using. If
you are using Selenium 2.53, then using chrome driver 2.25 should work
for you.
Download latest chrome driver from seleniumhq.org
Add 127.0.0.1 localhost to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.

Seems like there is some issue with creating session with Firefox. Try the following code and test using Chrome browser.
You need to download the executable driver from: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
public static void main(String[] args){
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
"/path/to/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver = new ChromeDriver();
//Puts an Implicit wait, Will wait for 10 seconds before throwing exception
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
//Launch website
driver.get("http://www.calculator.net/");
//Maximize the browser
driver.manage().window().maximize();
or Check the network settings (proxy, firewall, antivirus software), something is blocking
connections between selenium and the browser.

How do I get started with Selenium?

I'm trying to begin using Selenium. I have downloaded the Selenium Stand Alone Server, Selenium for JAVA, and GeckoDriver. I added all of the .jar files from the Stand Alone Server and Selenium for JAVA to my buildpath in Eclipse. When I run my program, I get the follwing error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:
FirefoxOptions cannot be resolved to a type
FirefoxOptions cannot be resolved to a type
at check.Selenium_Basic.main(Selenium_Basic.java:14)
My code is below:
package check;
import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;
public class Selenium_Basic {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Users\\User1\\Documents\\geckodriver-v0.16.1-win32\\geckodriver.exe");
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.setBinary("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe"); //This is the location where you have installed Firefox on your machine
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
}
}
Do you guys know why this doesn't work? Is there a good step by step guide that will allow me to start using this? I have looked at many guides but I can't figure out what I've done incorrectly.

The code looks good. You are missing an import statement for FirefoxOptions. You can add the below line to your code with other import statements & your code should work.
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxOptions;
Also, you don't need to use Selenium StandAlone Server. Selenium Java alone with GeckoDriver would work fine. Make sure that you are using Selenium 3.4, as its compatible with Gecko 16.

Trying to test a web application using selenium webdriver, a error that pops showing not abe to connect to the local host

so after this i had set the proxy
and tried but the result was same
but when i tried to copy the link and manually pasted it in Mozilla and searched it was successfully showing the login page
CODE SELENIUM
Package TESTING
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class demo {
`public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver driver= new Firefox Driver();
driver.get("localhost:8080/Chaitanya");
driver.findElement(By.name("username")).send Keys("login");
driver.findElement(By.name("login.password")).send Keys("password");
`

I had same issue in my recent project (FYI: issue is caused by port) , fixes for this is:
Try to update latest version of selenium, this should fix it. if not, dirty work around for this is
WebDriver driver;
try {
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
}
catch(Exception e) {
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
}

There few typo error....
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class demo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver driver= new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://localhost:8080/Chaitanya");
driver.findElement(By.name("username")).sendKeys("login");
driver.findElement(By.name("login.password")).sendKeys("password");
}
if Still same error occurs.
Please update Selenium Jar to latest( http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/ ), and update Firefox browser to latest version.
