DataDog Package does not exist

Question

The Problem

I try to import DataDog dependencies with Maven and mvn clean install prints:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.11.0:compile (default-compile) on project datadog_api_call: Compilation failure: Compilation failure: 
[ERROR] /mnt/chromeos/MyFiles/projects/path_to_maven_project/datadog_api_call/src/main/java/list_monitors/App.java:[2,30] package com.datadog.api.client does not exist

I created a simple maven project with mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart in order to use the DataDog API. Added the following to the pom.xml like the documentation instructs:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.datadoghq</groupId>
  <artifactId>datadog-api-client</artifactId>
  <version>2.16.0</version>
  <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

What I've tried:

Changing the pom.xml file in various ways and run mvn clean install and mvn clean compile:

• With and without the <packaging>jar</packaging> line
• With both <url>http://maven.apache.org</url> & <url>mvnrepository.com</url> and without the urls
• With wrapping the dependencies in the dependencyManagement tag and without it
• With <scope>compile</scope>, <scope>test</scope> and without scope

Maven should find the package, import it and my java code should be able to resolve the package import.

Today I was facing the same problem, I placed my maven dependencies for Sprite and GSON after all my dependencies, but I was getting the error package com.google.gson.Gson and package com.stripe.Stripe does not exist. So what I did was place them before all the dependencies and trust me it worked.
