Where is publishWMSLayer?

[icemagno]

I have a URL from a Layer in other Geoserver and trying to add it as a WMS layer in my Geoserver. I can't find any examples to do this.

The URL is something like http://www.geoservicos.ibge.gov.br/geoserver/CREN/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=HidrogeologiaRegiaoNE

My Maven include is:

  <dependency>
    <groupId>it.geosolutions</groupId>
    <artifactId>geoserver-manager</artifactId>
    <version>1.7.0</version>
  </dependency> 

Looking in 764c3d3 I see a publishWMSLayer method in the GeoServerRESTPublisher class but in my code I can't find this method.

        GeoServerRESTReader reader = new GeoServerRESTReader(restUrl, username, password);
        GeoServerRESTPublisher publisher = new GeoServerRESTPublisher(restUrl, username, password);

        publisher.publish ??????

What I'm doing wrong?
