Issue resolving dependencies with Maven in intellij

I have been trying to get the demo from mongodb's website for their Java driver to compile and I managed to do so last night; however when I launched my ide after work today to get started on the actual project I have been trying to start all week I am now having the same issue with non existent packages. the changes I made last night that allowed the program to compile are still there but the error is back. I am lost and ready to give up again please help me.

import static com.mongodb.client.model.Filters.eq; import org.bson.Document; import com.mongodb.client.MongoClient; import com.mongodb.client.MongoClients; import com.mongodb.client.MongoCollection; import com.mongodb.client.MongoDatabase; public class QuickStart { public static void main( String[] args ) { // Replace the placeholder with your MongoDB deployment's connection string String uri = "mongodb+srv://Cluster91234:[email protected]/?appName=Cluster91234"; try (MongoClient mongoClient = MongoClients.create(uri)) { MongoDatabase database = mongoClient.getDatabase("sample_mflix"); MongoCollection<Document> collection = database.getCollection("movies"); Document doc = collection.find(eq("title", "Back to the Future")).first(); if (doc != null) { System.out.println(doc.toJson()); } else { System.out.println("No matching documents found."); } } } } <?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" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.daniel</groupId> <artifactId>StatementViewer</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <properties> <maven.compiler.source>25</maven.compiler.source> <maven.compiler.target>25</maven.compiler.target> <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> </properties> <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.mongodb</groupId> <artifactId>mongodb-driver-bom</artifactId> <version>5.6.4</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.mongodb</groupId> <artifactId>mongodb-driver-sync</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement> </project><?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" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.daniel</groupId> <artifactId>StatementViewer</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <properties> <maven.compiler.source>25</maven.compiler.source> <maven.compiler.target>25</maven.compiler.target> <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> </properties> <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.mongodb</groupId> <artifactId>mongodb-driver-bom</artifactId> <version>5.6.4</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.mongodb</groupId> <artifactId>mongodb-driver-sync</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement> </project>

I believe the issue I was having yesterday was an issue with the version I had in my pom.xml.

I did try other things, but once I saw the error was back I got so dejected that I don't really remember what I tried. :)

I have checked the version again and it is still correct(to the best of my knowledge I did check the repo to make sure a new one wasn't released overnight coincidentally breaking my project somehow)

I'm hoping this is trivial to someone and they can point me in the right direction. I would like to get started on this project in this life time.

If you need any more information from me please ask
