How to create HtmlUnit HTMLPage object from String?

This question was asked once already, but the API changed I guess and the answers are no valid anymore.

URL url = new URL("http://www.example.com");
StringWebResponse response = new StringWebResponse("<html><head><title>Test</title></head><body></body></html>", url);
HtmlPage page = HTMLParser.parseHtml(response, new TopLevelWindow("top", new WebClient()));
System.out.println(page.getTitleText());

Can't be done because TopLevelWindow is protected and stuff like extending/implementing the window because of that is ridiculous :)

Anybody has an idea how to do that ? It seems to me weird that it can't be done easily.

This code works in GroovyConsole

    @Grab(group='net.sourceforge.htmlunit', module='htmlunit', version='2.8')
)

import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.*
import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.*

URL url = new URL("http://www.example.com");
StringWebResponse response = new StringWebResponse("<html><head><title>Test</title></head><body></body></html>", url);
WebClient client = new WebClient()
HtmlPage page = HTMLParser.parseHtml(response, client.getCurrentWindow());
System.out.println(page.getTitleText());
