Answer 1

Here seems to be the problem:

[FATAL] Non-parseable POM C:\Users\Benoit.m2\repository\org\apache\maven\maven-parent\16\maven-parent-16.pom

Because of this error maven was unable to add to plugin's classpath all the necessary libraries.

I recommend you to remove everything under C:\Users\Benoit\.m2\repository\org\apache\maven\ and rebuild the project. This should help.
