error org.openqa.selenium.devtools.CdpInfo: module org.seleniumhq.selenium.remote_driver does not declare `uses`

Question

I wanted to create a JavaFX application that uses Selenium for web scraping, but it didn't go well.

I can't find how to solve this error:

org.openqa.selenium.devtools.CdpInfo: module
org.seleniumhq.selenium.remote_driver does not declare `uses`

I had the same error with the following maven dependency in IntelliJ:

<dependency>     
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>     
<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>     
<version>4.4.0</version> 
</dependency>

I simply followed the answer from Java 16 ChromeDriver WebDriver cannot be resolved to a type even after following all the necessary steps and deleted my module-info.java file and it worked.
