I'm following this thread: JavaFx Application with Maven in Eclipse

I'm getting a
No plugin found for prefix 'jfx' in the current project and in the plugin groups
error when trying to run the goal: jfx:jar
Full build error:

I've already tried the following in attempt to solve this problem:
1. Enter mvn clean install
(BUILD SUCCESS)
2. Added <pluginGroup>com.zenjava</pluginGroup>
on settings.xml
Also, I've already added the <plugin>
node in my pom.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>com.zenjava</groupId>
<artifactId>javafx-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>8.1.2</version>
<configuration>
<mainClass>com.sample.MainApp</mainClass>
</configuration>
</plugin>
How can I solve this problem?
===========================================================
UPDATE 1:
After following Jaydeep's answer, I'm getting a password prompt after trying to open the cacerts file and unable to proceed further.
===========================================================
UPDATE 2:
Default password for cacerts is "changeit".
Build is successful after importing the root cert.
Also, I've updated my pom file with jfx plugin version 8.7.0 as advised by FibreFoX.
