Answer 1

I faced a similar scenario where exception was following.

java: cannot access oracle.jdbc.OracleTypes error

I manually installed ojdbc JAR to my local repository. However the problem was still existing. It was because I installed ojbc10.jar. For some reasons I thought number in this JAR name is like JDBC version. But they are more related with Java version. My project was using Java JDK 8. So issue got resolved after installing ojdbc8.jar.

So when you download make sure to check the release note. Certified with JDK8, JDK9, JDK11.
