trouble with my pom.xml, *Disclaimer, first time using maven. I'm trying to add dependencies to my pom.xml

When i run my project I get:
java.io.FileNotFoundException:
C:\Users\Anubhav\Desktop\QRDemo\Quote.png (The system cannot find the
path specified)
Here is my pom.xml code:

I'm completely lost

Dependency 'javax:javaee-api:6.0' not found

I'm a computer science student and I'm currently making my first steps in using JEE. To retry an example of my study material, I tried to build a web-application using IntelliJ Community. As there is no offical possibility to do so with the community version, I tried to use maven following this tutorial: https://www.shortn0tes.com/2017/01/tutorial-intellij-idea-community.html
Now I get an error about the dependency injection of javax in the pom.xml:
Dependency 'javax:javaee-api:6.0' not found
Is there anything that I need to add/configure in my IntelliJ IDE? I know that the tutorial is maybe not super modern anymore, but I'd just like to follow the example of my university material.
Thank you very much!

Executing spring-boot:run when not inheriting from spring-boot-starter-parent

I have a spring-boot maven project, which cannot have spring-boot-starter-parent as a parent due to organizational restrictions. I came across the following answer which helped me with compiling, testing and packaging an executable jar.
However when I try to execute spring-boot:run i receive the following error:
No plugin found for prefix 'spring-boot' in the current project and in the plugin groups [org.apache.maven.plugins, org.codehaus.mojo] available from the repositories
The following comment in the answer seems to point to away to fix this:
The code snippet above is sufficient to get the dependency management features. If you want plugins (like spring-boot:run) you need to confute those separately. You can copy paste from the Boot parent if you want
However after adding the proposed section to my pom file I still get the same error. My pom files can be found below:

Android Maven Unexpected Top-Level Exception

I'm getting the error which I shared below. It's related to maven (imho) and I know there is something wrong with my pom.xml but nothing found. I searched for all the same topics and the latest point what I reached is something should be excluded from some artifact because that something tries to add itself multiple times as error says. Btw it can be compiled without any problem through maven however I get this error when I want to run "package" on it.
[INFO] UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
[INFO] java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: already added: Lorg/codehaus/classwor
