How to generate pom.xml correctly?
The official documentation suggests using the built-in generator (Code->Generator), but apart from generating copyrights, it does not offer anything.

Right-click on the project, select Add framework support, select Maven. pom.xml will be generated. Open it in the editor, press Alt + Insert, select the Dependency item, add the ones you need from the list.
