New to Selenium - cannot access RemoteWebDriver error

I'm new to Selenium and I have tried to setup my first Selenium test using IntelliJ and Selenium 2. I have followed the tutorials on the official Selenium site but I get this error:

cannot access org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver
    class file for org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver not found

This is the tutorial I am using - http://seleniumhq.org/docs/03_webdriver.html#chapter03-reference

This is the location for the Maven setup I followed - http://seleniumhq.org/docs/appendix_installing_java_driver_Sel20_via_maven.html#importing-maven-into-intellij-reference

Here is the code:

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedCondition;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

public class MyAppHomePageTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    } 
}

The error occurs when I try to create a FirefoxDriver instance. Do I need to have the Selenium server as I thought this is no longer required.

I have tried the same in Eclipse and received the same error.

Thank you

You should use this Maven dependency :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.0</version>
</dependency>

According to this picture, you don't need a selenium-server dependency:
