Estou criando um programa gerador de código QR em JAVA usando a biblioteca ZXING. O programa é

import com.google.zxing.BarcodeFormat;
import com.google.zxing.WriterException;
import com.google.zxing.client.j2se.MatrixToImageWriter;
import com.google.zxing.common.BitMatrix;
import com.google.zxing.qrcode.QRCodeWriter;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.FileSystems;
import java.nio.file.Path;


public class QR_Gen {
    private static final String QR_CODE_IMAGE_PATH = "./MyCode.png";

    private static void generateQRCodeImage(String text, int width, int 
height, String filePath) throws WriterException, IOException {
        QRCodeWriter qrCodeWriter = new QRCodeWriter();
        BitMatrix bitMatrix = qrCodeWriter.encode(text, 
BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE, width, height);
        Path path = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath(filePath);
        MatrixToImageWriter.writeToPath(bitMatrix, "PNG", path);

    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            generateQRCodeImage("This is my first QR Code", 350, 350, QR_CODE_IMAGE_PATH);
            System.out.println("QR Code generated successfully");
        } catch (WriterException e) {

            System.out.println("Could not generate QR Code, WriterException :: " + e.getMessage());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Could not generate QR Code, IOException :: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }

}

Ao compilar este programa, estou recebendo um erro de incompatibilidade de tipo,

Type mismatch: cannot convert from ByteMatrix to BitMatrix

nesta linha

BitMatrix bitMatrix = qrCodeWriter.encode(text, BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE, width, height);

Por favor ajude!!!
