I'm not sure, but try this instead:

class DirectionsGrabber extends HTMLDocument.HTMLReader {
}

HTMLReader is a non-static inner class of HTMLDocument.
You need an instance of HTMLDocument to access it.

You need your HTMLDocument instantiated, in which you override
getReader() method to return your reader.
