Running Spark programs from Eclipse IDE - pom.xml is all good but getting run time errors

I am executing Spark programs from Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS - Eclipse IDE. It's using Oracle Sun JDK 1.8.0_361.

Referred this thread

It's directly executing the Spark programs from Eclipse IDE.
Getting issues for Spark-SQL programs
Regular Spark programs are all working fine.

This program

package org.example;
import org.apache.log4j.Level;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.spark.sql.Dataset;
import org.apache.spark.sql.Row;
import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession;
import static org.apache.spark.sql.functions.avg;
import static org.apache.spark.sql.functions.col;
import static org.apache.spark.sql.functions.max;
public class HousePriceSolution {
private static final String PRICE = "Price";
private static final String PRICE_SQ_FT = "Price SQ Ft";
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception 
{
Logger.getLogger("org").setLevel(Level.ERROR);
SparkSession session = SparkSession.builder().appName("HousePriceSolution").master("local[1]").getOrCreate();
Dataset<Row> realEstate = session.read().option("header", "true").csv("src/main/resources/RealEstate.csv");
Dataset<Row> castedRealEstate = realEstate.withColumn(PRICE, col(PRICE).cast("long"))
.withColumn(PRICE_SQ_FT, col(PRICE_SQ_FT).cast("long"));
castedRealEstate.groupBy("Location")
.agg(avg(PRICE_SQ_FT), max(PRICE))
.orderBy(col("avg(" + PRICE_SQ_FT + ")").desc())
.show();
}
}

and here is the corresponding pom.xml

But I am getting these errors at runtime, build is all good

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: scala/$less$colon$less

tried this also but no success

Sounds like you are having a mismatch version between Scala, Spark and KafkaClient. You have the following in your pom.xml

    <!-- scala 2.12.x -->
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.scala-lang</groupId>
      <artifactId>scala-library</artifactId>
      <version>2.12.17</version>
    </dependency>

    <!-- spark using scala 2.13.x -->
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
        <artifactId>spark-core_2.13</artifactId>
        <version>3.4.0</version>
      <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
    <artifactId>spark-sql_2.13</artifactId>
    <version>3.4.0</version>
      <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>

      <artifactId>spark-streaming_2.13</artifactId>
    <version>3.4.0</version>

    </dependency>

I guess fixing that, it will solve the problem
