JDK 11 JavaFX with Maven: can't add dependencies to project - maven

Question

I used the sample archetype of openjfx to create a simple FXML base project from here: https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/#maven
I want to add other functionalities (such as parsing of xml files etc.) but when i try to use the added dependency, for some reason the objects are not recognized.
pom.xml:

App.java file:
You can see that the XmlMapper is commented out since it does not recognize it
package org.msd;

public class App extends Application {
private static Scene scene;
#Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws IOException {
scene = new Scene(loadFXML("environment"), 640, 480);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
static void setRoot(String fxml) throws IOException {
//------- THIS FAILS -------
XmlMapper xmlMapper = new XmlMapper();
scene.setRoot(loadFXML(fxml));
}
private static Parent loadFXML(String fxml) throws IOException {
FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(App.class.getResource(fxml + ".fxml"));
return fxmlLoader.load();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch();
}
}
Trying to import package:
Trying to "Add Maven dependency..." will suggest irrelevant packages
What am i missing???
