How to create HtmlUnit HTMLPage object from String?

Using HTMLUnit 2.40, Grooveek's code won't compile, you get "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method parseHtml(WebResponse, WebWindow) from the type HTMLParser". But there is now a class HtmlUnitNekoHtmlParser implementing the HTMLParser interface, so the following code works:

StringWebResponse response = new StringWebResponse(
    "<html><head><title>Test</title></head><body></body></html>", 
    new URL("http://www.example.com"));
HtmlPage page = new HtmlUnitNekoHtmlParser().parseHtml(
    response, new WebClient().getCurrentWindow());

There is some sample code in the FAQ https://htmlunit.sourceforge.io/faq.html#HowToParseHtmlString

e.g.

final String htmlCode = "<html>"
        + "  <head>"
        + "    <title>Title</title>"
        + "  </head>"
        + "  <body>"
        + "    content..."
        + "  </body>"
        + "</html> ";
try (WebClient webClient = new WebClient(browserVersion)) {
    final HtmlPage page = webClient.loadHtmlCodeIntoCurrentWindow(htmlCode);
    // work with the html page
}

This code works in GroovyConsole

@Grapes(
    @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());
