Answer 1

• Check the output of mvn clean install. And see if the concerned jar is being downloaded. Look into $HOME/.m2/repo/.... to see if it is indeed present.

• In the IDE be sure you have configured the Build Path correctly (e.g. in eclipse, Right-click project, Build-Path, 3rd tab)

• Besides, I guess it should be pom.xml(lowercase) and not POM.XML, as I believe case matters. But I guess you put that in the post unkownigly.
