Dropwizard and intelliJ autocompletes not working? (Using maven)

Question

I have the following dependencies in my pom :

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.dropwizard</groupId>
            <artifactId>dropwizard-bom</artifactId>
            <version>${dropwizard.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.dropwizard</groupId>
            <artifactId>dropwizard-auth</artifactId>
            <version>${dropwizard.version}</version>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>

I have built the project, to make sure everything needed is in place - but then when I write the following code :

public class BasicAuthentication implements Authenticator {
    // I am aware that Authenticator takes arguments, but this is a separate issue. :)
}

For some reason, as I type out the word "Authenticator" - the auto complete suggestions for that class are for java, sun, etc - the dropwizard.auth one is not there.

Any idea what is going on?

I am tagging Maven, intelliJ, and Dropwizard in the question, because I am unaway which of these is actually causing the issue...

EDIT : nobody really seems to have an answer for this - should I just abandon and go to something that has traditionally worked for me, like Spring?

First of all, make sure 'Enable auto import' is on for Maven projects and the library is visible under external libraries in the project view.

Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Maven | Importing | Import Maven projects automatically.

You can also right click in project view.

Right click | Maven | Reimport.

If the issue still persists, you can try

File | Invalidate caches / Restart option in IntelliJ.

Hmmm, thanks, but it appears as though none of these fix my problem. – MickeyThreeSheds Aug 30 '17 at 20:39
@MickeyThreeSheds Is bom dependency under dependencyManagement tag? io.dropwizard dropwizard-bom ${dropwizard.version} pom import Please try removing scope import for the dropwizard-auth and verify that dropwizard.version is specified under the properties. – Dhruvil Vaghela Aug 31 '17 at 06:30
@MickeyThreeSheds do refer this [StackOverflow | maven-bom-bill-of-materials-dependency](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38496022/maven-bom-bill-of-materials-dependency) – Dhruvil Vaghela Aug 31 '17 at 06:35
