org.json.* is not accessible in JAVA Maven Project as a dependency

I am making a JavaFX project (for the GUI) on Maven and for the moment I want to convert a StringBuffer object to JSON.
I tried to add the dependency org.json from Maven but there is a problem in pom.xml file
Missing Artifact org.json:json:bundle:20220924
I tried adding an older version of org.json dependency, it had the same issue
I tried a different dependency, everything was ok in the pom.xml file but I could not import it into my project (any dependency).
All dependencies return this error: The type org.json.JSONArray is not accessible
Lastly, I tried to download the json-java.jar from github and add it into a libs folder on the base project directory and added it in the pom file as a dependency but it could not be resolved either.
My pom.xml file:

In the end I downloaded Maven again and extracted it into a folder and changed my environment variables on path. Maven is successfully installed on version 3.8.7
Thank you in advance for any help!
UPDATE
I should mention that I tried it on a new java project (without maven) and it works fine, by importing the .jar file from git-hub repository

Intellij mvn install complains "cannot access <package>" during testComplile after adding cucumber-junit-platform-engine dependency in pom.xml

I am planning to use Cucumber Test with Junit 5 in Maven. So I followed cucumber to install different maven dependency. I added a runner class to execute my cucumber tests
package pirate;
import org.junit.platform.suite.api.ConfigurationParameter;
import org.junit.platform.suite.api.IncludeEngines;
import org.junit.platform.suite.api.SelectClasspathResource;
import org.junit.platform.suite.api.Suite;
import static io.cucumber.junit.platform.engine.Constants.GLUE_PROPERTY_NAME;
#Suite
#IncludeEngines("cucumber")
#SelectClasspathResource("pirate")
#ConfigurationParameter(key = GLUE_PROPERTY_NAME, value = "pirate")
public class Runner {}
I also created a new folder name pirate under resources folder and move all .feature files into that new folder.
But when I execute mvn clean install, the command fails at testCompile:
It seems like the compiler can't read the package name?
Below is my pom.xml

My project structure is:
but if I comment out cucumber-junit-platform-engine dependency in pom.xml, the error is gone but it won't run the cucumber tests. Did I miss something here?
Not sure if it's related, but one of the error messages is like:
[ERROR] error reading /Users/xx/.m2/repository/org/junit/platform/junit-platform-engine/1.9.1/junit-platform-engine-1.9.1.jar; zip file is empty
[ERROR] /Users/xx/Desktop/zz/src/test/java/pirate/Runner.java:[1,1] cannot access pirate
ZipException opening "junit-platform-engine-1.9.1.jar": zip END header not found

Maven : error in opening zip file when running maven
following the procedure fixes the "cannot access " problem.

did you tried with a different scope than test for the cucumber-junit-platform-engine dependency?

Exported JavaFX Application file size is too big

I have my own project(https://github.com/reinvert/CrossStitchConverter)
And I always compile the project on eclipse by File-Export-Runnable JAR File-(Library handling)Package required libraries into generated JAR.
It works fine, but the jar file size is too big(83.0MB)
How can I reduce the file size?
I tried jlink, jpackage, and etc, but none of those have an effect.
This is my pom.xml file

I found large library file(JavaFX-web-17.0.2-linux.jar and JavaFX-web-17.0.2-win.jar, which is total 50MB) in exported jar file, so I deleted these file and tried to run jar file, it worked. I think other unused jar library can be removed as those, but I can't find an option for it.

NoClassDefFoundError as I run a Maven packaged JAR file

I am using Maven to compile and package a Java application from the command line:
mvn clean
mvn compile
mvn package
These commands run without a problem. But when I try to run the generated JAR file
java -jar target/JarFile.jar
I get the following error:
Error: Unable to initialize main class com.company.Main
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/api/client/json/JsonFactory
Which is a class from an external dependency. These dependencies are also managed by Maven (i.e., I am not supplying them locally, but listing them in my POM file.) Since I am able to run the application inside the IDE, I assume I am missing a step to make the dependencies available to the JAR file. Here is my POM file:

Could you point me in the right direction so that the dependencies are accessible at runtime?

To run your jar from commandline, you must either explicitly specify the classpath on the command line or build an executable jar:
How can I create an executable JAR with dependencies using Maven?
BTW: mvn package already executes mvn compile, so you need not call mvn compile explicitly.

Use this in your pom.xml and rebuild your project.

I am installing the library project to my local repository using:
mvn clean install
then I am compiling and installing the main project to my local repository using:
mvn clean install
and generating the apk using:
mvn android:deploy
Now the problem occurs when I compile the project with maven. The project compiles successfully, however when I am running the apk on the device I receive NullPointerException when trying to perform findById for resources that are inside the library project. Please note that part of the time findById does return value, but not always the correct type (e.g, expected layout but got a button). It is important to say that when running in eclipse without maven everything works perfectly.
Please advise

Finally I found the solution, so I'll update my answer for future readers.
The solution to this problem was to create aar file instead of apklib file using maven.
