maven dependency unable to read lib from the dependency jar - maven-2

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?

Answer 1

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.
