Maven can't compile due to "package javafx.collections does not exist" error

I'm currently doing a project with javafx using maven. When I run it direcly from the run button of IntelliJ it works fine, but when I try to compile it with Maven I get a lot of errors like this one:

package javafx.collections does not exist

I have the javafx dependency like this on my pom.xml, but it looks like Maven isn't getting it.

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
        <artifactId>javafx</artifactId>
        <version>11</version>
        <type>pom</type>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

What am I missing? Thank you in advance

A POM dependency doesn't pull in the actual code. JavaFX was included in older versions of Java, maybe your IntelliJ IDEA setup uses an old version that already contains JavaFX.
