org.openqa.selenium.MutableCapabilities not available?

Question

I don't seem to have org.openqa.selenium.MutableCapabilities available in my version of Selenium. I'm using version 2.53.0.

I'm trying to use Selenium standalone server in a Grails project and the application is crashing on this line:

 ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions()

I have a feeling this may be the cause. Any help greatly appreciated.

MutableCapabilities

MutableCapabilities was introduced for the first time with the availability of Selenium (Java Client) v3.6.0

Here is the snapshot from the Selenium (Java Client) v3.6.0 Release Notes:

All Option classes now extend MutableCapbilities new RemoteWebDriver(new ChromeOptions());

With the availability of Selenium (Java Client) v3.7.0 we migrated from using DesiredCapabilities to either MutableCapabilities or (preferably) ImmutableCapabilities.

Here is the snapshot from the Selenium (Java Client) v3.7.0 Release Notes:

Migrated from using DesiredCapabilities to either MutableCapabilities or (preferably) ImmutableCapabilities.
