JBoss not loading inner classes from modules - module

Question

I have created a new module for my sample.jar. It is having package like sample/example. Under example I have 2 more packages sample1, sample2.
I created module like modules/sample/example and my module.xml is
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="sample.example">
<resources>
<resource-root path="sample.jar"/>
<!-- Insert resources here -->
</resources>
In my deployment-structure xml,
<dependencies>
<module name="sample.example" />
</dependencies>
sample.example.sample1.Test class is importing sample.example.sample2.Test2 file
When I am creating object for sample.example.sample1.Test, I am getting below exception.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.LinkageError: Failed to link sample/example/sample1/Test (Module "sample.example:main" from local module loader #117843d (finder: local module finder #eacb9c (roots: C:\Daten\Softwares\jboss-eap-6.2.0\jboss-eap-6.2\modules,C:\Daten\Softwares\jboss-eap-6.2.0\jboss-eap-6.2\modules\system\layers\base)))

The module.xml and the JAR should be in the modules\sample\sample\main directory. It looks like in your case C:\Daten\Softwares\jboss-eap-6.2.0\jboss-eap-6.2\modules\sample\sample\main.
You could also use the CLI command module add command.
%JBOSS_HOME%\bin\jboss-cli.bat -c "module add --name=sample.sample --resources=sample.jar"
You could just connect the CLI client too and use tab complete to see all the options as well. The --resource will take the full path to your sample.jar and copy it over into the correct directory and make the module.xml file for you.
