title: Visual Studio Code - pom.xml - Missing Artifacts
body: <p>I am trying to set up automated testing in VScode but am receiving dependency errors from my maven pom.xml files.</p>
  
  <p>I am an automation tester using Gherkin to run test scenarios. I'm still pretty new to it but I need to set up automation in VScode for a new project. Unfortunately, I am having a lot of issues with this. I THINK errors are occuring while trying to download dependencies, but to be honest I really have no idea. I can link to the errors below.</p>
