Invalid content error in XML file - spring

Question

I am new to spring. I made pom.xml and am getting the error below in the pom.xml file:
cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'repositories'. One of '{"http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0":dependency}' is expected.
My code for pom.xml is below:

Answer 1

You're using <repositories> inside <dependencies>, it should be next to eachother.
Move these lines about 7 positions up:

</dependencies>

Answer 2

instead of packaging you should use type
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>packagename</groupId>
<artifactId>projectname</artifactId>
<type>war</type>
<version>1.0</version>
