java - Maven "Invalid content was found starting with element"

Question

Not sure why this happens, but I'm trying to fix an issue with signed jars in a minecraft plugin, I added this fix and it errors out at The pom code that is breaking is:

    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.6</version>
        <executions>
            <execution>
                <id>unpack-dependencies</id>
                <phase>package</phase>
                <goals>
                    <goal>unpack-dependencies</goal>
                </goals>
                <configuration>
                    <excludeScope>system</excludeScope>
                    <excludes>META-INF/*.SF</excludes>
                    <excludes>META-INF/*.DSA</excludes>
                    <excludes>META-INF/*.RSA</excludes>
                    <excludeGroupIds>junit,org.mockito,org.hamcrest</excludeGroupIds>
                    <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/classes</outputDirectory>
                </configuration>
            </execution>
        </executions>
    </plugin>

The error is:

Invalid content was found starting with element '{"http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0":plugin}'. One of '{"http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0":parent, "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0":prerequisites, "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0":issueManagement, "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0":ciManagement, "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0":inceptionYear, "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0":mailingLists, "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0":developers, "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0":contributors, "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0":profiles, "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0":modules, "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0":pluginRepositories, "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0":reports, "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0":dependencyManagement, "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0":distributionManagement}' is expected

Does anyone know what I can do? I'm not good at coding, by the way

As requested by someone, here's the full pom.xml:
