More to come on a complete explanation later. This is a short journal.
A few configurations I’ve tried:
What works now:
Downloading and installing Maven.
Creating a base pom.xml file containing relevant project information should this ever get published, with just the basics.
To be Specific (from my Maven XML POM):

</dependencies>
Play with the “dependencyManagement” section. Add specific dependencies to ensure the file gets read in.
To be more specific:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>jakarta.xml.bind</groupId>
<artifactId>jakarta.xml.bind-api</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
A few websites I’ve used:
This Question helps as it shows what JAR files are added to the module path after including the dependencies above:
