Could not resolve version conflict among [io.cucumber:cucumber-core:jar:7.3.4 -> io.cucumber:messages:jar:18.0.0

Question

I have included all the jars in the POM file as follows:

but there is a version conflict in the POM file and an error in the dependency hierarchy snapshot of the eclipse ide when there is an error

I have forced updated more than 10 times and reinstalled eclipse multiple times and included the files and folders again but in vain. I have used maven enforcer as well as suggested by someone on the stack overflow itself but that too could not resolve the issue. Cucumber setup is a big headache instead a person can just write the document in plain english and use selenium to automate without cucumber integration!!!! Kindly tell how to resolve it
