Maven jUnit5 org.junit.platform.runner, org.junit.platform.suite.api does not exist

Question

Using Eclipse. Able to launch tests from Eclipse IDE, however 'maven install' fails and throws:

package org.junit.platform.runner does not exist
package org.junit.platform.suite.api does not exist
package org.junit.runner does not exist
cannot find symbol  symbol: class RunWith
cannot find symbol  symbol: class SelectClasses

these are are my pom.xml file dependancies

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit-jupiter-api</artifactId>
            <version>5.5.2</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
            <version>5.5.2</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

Why my IDE is able to launch both test scripts and program itself, but maven build fails throwing the errors above?

Looks like I missed a couple of dependencies (had to add junit-platform-launcher and junit-platform-runner), also in order for tests to run on each build had to add build plugins. Now my pom.xml looks like this :

<properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
        <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>

        <junit.jupiter.version>5.5.2</junit.jupiter.version>
        <junit.platform.version>1.5.2</junit.platform.version>
    </properties>

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.22.2</version>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.22.2</version>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
