How to solve incorrect dependencys using maven and openapi - spring-boot

Question

in our springboot project we are using openapi to generate the representation of our data. But if i try to build the project it looks the generated classes/Interfaces are missing all dependencys. I get a lot of errors saying something like java: package io.swagger.annotations does not exist or java: package springfox.documentation.annotations does not exist.
However the dependencys should be there. The project has 2 pom.xml files. One in the main directory of the project and one in the src directory of the generated data. The pom in the src directory contains
<build>
<sourceDirectory>src/main/java</sourceDirectory>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-data-commons</artifactId>
</dependency>
<!--SpringFox dependencies -->
<dependency>
<groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
<artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
<version>${springfox-version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
<artifactId>springfox-swagger-ui</artifactId>
<version>${springfox-version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
<version>2.3.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-datatype-jsr310</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.openapitools</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind-nullable</artifactId>
<version>0.2.1</version>
</dependency>
<!-- Bean Validation API support -->
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
<artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Here all the needed dependencys like swagger are listed. Thats why I do not understand how there are all these errors saying the packages can not be found. I have no idea why this happens so i would be really grateful if someone could help me.

Answer 1

Try switching to version 2.92 on both dependencies
<dependency>
<groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
<artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
<version>2.9.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
<artifactId>springfox-swagger-ui</artifactId>
<version>2.9.2</version>
</dependency>
With the versions changed if you use SpringToolSuite4, forcing the Update Maven Project should work:
Project > Update Maven Project > Force Update of Snapshots/Releases
