i was trying to use the gson librabry from google to convert a java object into a json object, but the importation isn’t working. when i try to use the gson.toJson method in my code it doesn’t reconize the importation. i’m using maven and intellij.

i’ve read a lot of simillar errors in a lot of different foruns and tried everything, but i couldn’t have my problem solved! i tried rebuilding my project, cleaning the cache of my ide, i also tried to re-add the maven dependency, i tried another versions of the library, i tried another importations and nothing worked. i also made sure that my Java version is compatible with the library version i’m using which is the latest realeased.
this is my dependency:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
            <artifactId>gson</artifactId>
            <version>2.10.1</version>
        </dependency>

this is my importation line:

import com.google.gson.Gson;

this is what i’m using it for:

return gson.toJson(responseData);

this is what the ide says: “Cannot resolve symbol ‘gson'”
