maven dependency unable to read lib from the dependency jar

Question

I have projects A & B where Project B is dependent on A. When I run mvn clean install in the command prompt, Project A compiles well and it produces the dependent jar for Project B in the maven local repository. During the compilation of Project B, I am getting a compilation error for a dependency listed in project B's POM. I have checked the classpath, versions and they are fine. The error I am seeing is mentioned below:

Project A

This is fine.

symbol  : class BusinessException
location: class us.mn.state.dhs.tss.common.oblix.da.wsdl.OblixLoginAccess

Can anyone help with this issue?

Please format the mvn output as code so it's easier to read. — Filip Korling, Oct 19 '09 at 18:15
He means to use the formatting tools of the StackOverflow editor. I've fixed this for you. — SingleShot, Oct 19 '09 at 18:38
Please show us both POMs. Is OblixLoginAccess generated from a WSDL? Perhaps its not getting packaged up into the JAR. — SingleShot, Oct 19 '09 at 18:40
thank you, I am new to this website forgive me i am not aware of the features it has packages is generated in the jar, i can see them by navigating manually — dagg, Oct 19 '09 at 18:48
you don't need to ask 3 time the same question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1589121/maven-compilation-failure http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1588952/maven-dependency-problem-compilation-error — florent, Oct 19 '09 at 18:58

The error is

OblixLoginAccess.java:[51,60] cannot find symbol
symbol  : class BusinessException
location: class us.mn.state.dhs.tss.common.oblix.da.wsdl.OblixLoginAccess

This simply means that there is a class BusinessException referenced in the code for OblixLoginAccess at line 51, character 60.

The symbol cannot be found on the compile classpath.

This may or may not have anything to do with dependencies of Project B on Project A. You need to find out where that class is supposed to be, and make sure it is there.
