Maven + SoapUI ClassNotFoundException(com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver) - maven

Question

need a little bit of help with Maven and SoapUI. The long-term plan is to integrate my SoapUI tests with Jenkins, however, i'm unfortunately falling down at the first hurdle, when getting my tests to run with Maven. Whenever I run my SoapUI tests via maven on the command line I keep getting the following error:
2017-09-20 10:03:06,977 ERROR [errorlog]
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:

Now, As far as I'm aware I have included all the necessary dependencies. Here is a copy of my pom file. It's a simple one, I've borrowed from the internet and tweaked the usual bit.

Can anybody spot any obvious mistakes I've made? have I missed something? Is there some setup/configuration I'm not aware of within Maven/SoapUI?

Answer 1

he searches for sqlserver dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
<artifactId>mssql-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>{version}</version>
</dependency>
but mysql dependancy found in pom file
