Maven: How to fix foreign imports? (in Azure Function)

Question

when I try to start my Azure function locally in Visual Studio Code I get a Maven error as following:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.microsoft.azure:azure-functions-maven-plugin:1.13.0:package (package-functions) on project ShapefileReader: Execution package-functions of 
goal com.microsoft.azure:azure-functions-maven-plugin:1.13.0:package failed: A required class was missing while executing com.microsoft.azure:azure-functions-maven-plugin:1.13.0:package: com/vividsolutions/jts/geom/Geometry

Running the task as "mvn clean package -e" additionally gives me the ClassNotFoundException:

The dependency is in my Maven folder as normally and I can also view the class com.vividsolutions.jt.geom.Geometry in Visual Studio Code so I don't think that it should appear missing. I already tried deleting the dependency from the Maven directory and redownloading it but this did not seem to change anything.

Thanks in advance!

For anyone looking for a possible solution com.vividsolutions.jts has been moved to org.locationtech.jts. Thus you should provide the jar to your maven build instead of trying to download it from maven repository.
