Not able to import the spark packages

Question

I am trying to make changes in the sample Java Code provided by Spark JavaKafkaWordCount.java and trying to build it using Maven. I am working on Spark standalone module. I am using following pom.xml:

<project>
    <groupId>com.mycompany.app</groupId>
    <artifactId>my-app</artifactId>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <name>Simple Project</name>
    <packaging>jar</packaging>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency> <!-- Spark dependency -->
            <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
            <artifactId>spark-core_2.10</artifactId>
            <version>1.5.1</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
            <version>4.8.2</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
            <artifactId>spark-streaming-kafka_2.10</artifactId>
            <version>1.5.1</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</project> 

When I run

mvn package

I get the following errors:

It seems that I have to modify my PATH variable but I am unable to locate the proper jar.

The error message you are getting is:

package org.apache.spark.streaming.api.java does not exist

This means you are missing the following dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
    <artifactId>spark-streaming_2.10</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.1</version>
</dependency>
