Cannot resolve symbol 'BCrypt'

Question

I am trying to add BCrypt to my code, but my program won't import the dependency. All I get is the message "Cannot resolve symbol 'BCrypt'" and if I try to look at the informationsymbol, my only alternatives are:

• "Create class 'BCrypt'"
• "Create field 'BCrypt' in 'JavaclassName'"
• "Create local variable 'BCrypt'" and so on...

I tried adding dependency in the pom.xml-file:

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-security-core</artifactId>
   <version>5.4.6</version>
</dependency>

but it did not help. I also tried:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.mindrot</groupId>
    <artifactId>jbcrypt</artifactId>
    <version>0.4</version>
</dependency>

but this just gave me red warnign-signs.

I use Intellij, and started a Spring project with SDK java version 11. Hope someone is able to help :)
