Answer 1

xgboost jars must be built locally and published to your local maven repository for your set up to work. The instructions for this is published here

Also additionally the dependencies should be like below (the groupId is ml.dmlc)

libraryDependencies += "ml.dmlc" %% "xgboost4j" % "0.7"
libraryDependencies += "ml.dmlc" %% "xgboost4j-spark" % "0.7"
