NoClassDefFoundError when running JPOS Q2?

Trying to setup JPOS Q2 for the first time through Maven / Intellij, and coming across an error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/osgi/framework/BundleException
at Q2_Main.main(Q2_Main.java:6)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.osgi.framework.BundleException

	at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:355)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:351)
	... 1 more

Process finished with exit code 1

I downloaded JPOS through maven, and I've tried looking at dozens of threads on the error but cannot resolve it on my own

</project>

and I see it in my external libraries

jpos in external library

import org.jpos.q2.Q2;

public class Q2_Main {

public static void main(String[] args){
    Q2 q2 = new Q2("src/main/java/deploy");
    q2.start();
}

}

Edit for steps that I did:

1. File -> New Project -> Maven Project (created the POM automatically)
2. Pasted the JPOS dependency from my main project into new POM file
3. Maven Clean + Install from within Intellij Maven Panel
4. Created Q2_Main.java
5. Hit green play button, which results in that error

I checked on the maven repository the library you are trying to use, jpos 2.1.6 (https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.jpos/jpos/2.1.6), and I've seen it has a series of runtime dependencies. It seems you miss org.osgi.core 6.0.0 judging from the stacktrace you posted. Make sure you have all the runtime dependencies needed in your classpath.

Here is a step by step of what I did to tun your code:

1. Create an empty folder /tmp/test-jpos
2. Write the file pom.xml there with the content you shared.
3. In IntelliJ menu File -> Open and opened the /tmp/test-jpos folder
4. Create dir src/main/java
5. Create file Q2_Main.java in that directory with content you shared.
6. Run the project by hitting the play run button (the green triangle)

With those steps it ran OK.

However that is not the recommended way to run Q2 I will expand on this later.

Based on the last comment, the problem seems to be related to its maven installation.

To figure out if this could be an issue, one can perform the following steps.

1. First, try to move any possible maven setting in your local installation. Rename the user level settings.xml (in linux ~/.m2/settings.xml) and if it's possible that you or someone modified the installation level settings.xml try to get the distribution default.
2. If after this the dependencies are correctly brought, then the problem is with that settings, you can try to apply the settings you need, item by item and check in every step, that the dependencies are resolved ok.
3. If step 1 didn't work, the problem may somehow be in the maven cache. Rename the entire .m2 directory, and retry.
4. As in step 2, try to get back your setting from the old settings.xml and see if it breaks again.
