Java - Selenium WebElement isDisplayed() method not available

I'm using Selenium (2.44.0) for my Java Unit tests, and I'm trying to use WebElement's isDisplayed() method, but it doesn't appear to be available. I can only see the isEnabled() and isSelected() methods.

(Error message in Eclipse: "The method isDisplayed() is undefined for the type WebElement")

Java code:

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;

.......

    WebElement element;
    int size = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//select[@name='type']")).size();
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
        element = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//select[@name='type']")).get(i);
        if (element.isDisplayed()) {
            select = new Select(element);
            select.selectByVisibleText("Multi-Level Multi Select");
            break;
        }
    }

Any idea what I might be missing?

EDIT - added full pom.xml and eclipse error message to clarify issue

EDIT (2) - changed Java code to actual (used) Java code regarding @Vivek Singh 's first comment about exception handling

Selenium commons brings in WebElement.java in exactly the same package structure which does not have isDisplayed() method. So your reference was messed up. Don't include selenium-commons in your pom.xml

It's exactly like @tome said. selenium-common.jar is version 2.0b1. isDisplayed() was added in Selenium 2.0 (final). Until then it was located in other classes. So selenium-common masks selenium-api and this is the reason why you can't compile.
