[FIXED] The import com.mongodb cannot be resolved - Maven project in Eclipse

Issue

I am trying to setup a test connection to MongoDB. I am in Eclipse, using a Maven build. My pom file is below:

  </properties>
</project>

I've added the dependencies. And this is my code:

package com.uml;
import com.mongodb.*;

public class TestMain {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello world");
        MongoClient mongoClient = new MongoClient("localhost", 27017);

    }

}

I've tried changing the version of mongodb in the dependency part to 3.7. I'm using Java SE 1.8, and these are some settings for build path:

I honestly think the cause is related to another issue I was getting, when I was importing a PlantUML library "net.sourceforge.plantuml.SourceStringReader;"

But I'm not sure what exactly that issue is...

Solution

I fixed the issue -- the problem was that I was I had entered the MondoDB dependencies under plugin
