Maven 3.9.9 upgrade making build fail

Question

I am creating a jar by combining and building below jars using the dependencies listed below with Maven version 3.9.9. Previously, it worked with version 3.8.8 version but failling when I am trying to run the new jar(generated by builing the pom.xml) that is build with 3.9.9(error: Could not find or load main class mic.App). I am using Java 8 for this.

I attempted to upgrade the dependencies slf4j-simple, slf4j-api, protobuf-java, and jackson-core, but the effort was unsuccessful.
