Jackson-databind dependency not working in maven

I want to add Jackson-databind dependency but I still have no jackson classes in my project. I changed my project from gradle to maven and my pom.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<version>${jackson.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
</project>
I don't know if my pom.xml is something wrong or something different. I have feeling that is very simple error that I can't see

At first this project using two different artifacts for databinding.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-xml-databind</artifactId>
<version>0.6.2</version>
</dependency>
This artifact is an antient one. It released in 2011.
Second, the managed dependencies are not "real" dependencies. In this case you can imagine managed dependencies as a dependency templates. So, if you want to use a managed dependency as a "real" dependency, then you have to describe those artifacts in <dependencies></dependencies> section.
Try something like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

UPDATE Based on comment I added the xml databind extension.

persistence.xml needed during mvn compilation

So here is the scenario,
I am trying to compile a maven project which have some persistent classes. I have persistence.xml under src\main\resources\. This compiles fine, but I get run-time error for persistence not found which can be easily resolved if I manually move persistence.xml under META-INF dir of jar(xml file is packaged under root of the jar).
Now if I move persistence.xml under src\main\resources\META-INF I get weird compile-time error of
Fatal error compiling: java.lang.RuntimeException:
javax.annotation.processing.FilerException: Attempt to recreate a file
for type my.package.EntityClassName_
This EntityClassName can be any one of my Entity class.
I just want to package persistence.xml under META-INF directory of jar.
Can someone point out what am I missing?
I am using maven compiler source and target as 1.6 if it matters.
EDIT: This project have a parent maven project.

It was solved bu using -proc:none as compiler argument.

Could not resolve dependencies for project. Could not find artifact.

I have a problem with building a project Farma-rest which depends on my other project Farma. I put dependency in my pom.xml but it couldn't resolve dependencies for the project. It shows me this error message:

I tried to clean and build the project but it didn't helped.

The jar for the Farma project is not available in your local maven repo.
Check if the ~/.m2/repository/sk.upjs.ics/Farma/1.0-SNAPSHOT directory exists. It should not at this point.
Run the build for the Farma project. Maven should create the artifact and put it in your local maven repository.
Check the same directory as before. It should now exist and it should have a jar and pom in it.
Now try building Farma-rest again and it should work.

Maven cyclic dependency

my maven project has multiple maven modules. Two of those modules (product and feature) are dependent on each other. When I include the modules as dependencies in the pom files, an ! mark appears on the modules. On running maven install I get this error.
The projects in the reactor contain a cyclic reference: Edge between
'Vertex{label='com.catalog:feature:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'}' and
'Vertex{label='com.catalog:product:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'}' introduces to
cycle in the graph com.catalog:product:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT -->
com.catalog:feature:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT --> com.catalog:product:0.0.1-
SNAPSHOT #
Without adding the dependencies Product can't access functions defined in Feature module and vice versa.

Design smell.
Refactor your modules. Basically everything which is needed in both modules should go into a common dependency. You cannot have cycles in your dependency tree, it just won't work.
Update: As this answer is occasionally getting a new upvote, I wanted to mention: the "tree" in "dependency tree" refers to a tree from graph theory, which means that by definition you cannot have cycles :)

It may not work for your particular situation but another option to rectify cyclical dependencies is to use events.
First, set your modules up in a tree with no cyclical dependencies. Put your Event classes at the top of the tree. Then publish and listen for events in any of the modules. This allows you to have modules that communicate with each other without depending on each other.
For how to publish and listen for events in Spring see:

Problems Adding jinput Dependencies from Maven

I'm trying to add jinput to my project. I'm using Netbeans as an IDE. I'm really unable to find any resources on jinput that aren't broken or ancient. I was really hoping the Maven approach would work but it seems it can't find the appropriate drivers which are stored as Runtime Dependencies.
Here is my POM file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</properties>
Here's the error I'm getting when I try to run one of the jinput test classes from their GIT repo:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jinput-raw_64 in java.library.path
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1857)
All the drivers are part of the jinput-platform dependency. Note that the code itself has no compiler issues. I'm fairly certain the issue is with finding the appropriate library during runtime. Any recommendations?
