greasemonkey

I'm totally new to GreaseMonkey, but I'm trying to make a little script.

// ==UserScript==
// @require       http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js
// ==/UserScript==
(function() {
    $ = unsafeWindow.jQuery;
    alert($); // this gives 'undefined'
}());

Why does the alert give undefined and how to fix this?
