Compile project that references installed project - maven

Question

I have a library module that I created through Maven, there is pom.xml what get dependencies:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.5.18.RELEASE</version>
<relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>
<groupId>com.example.library</groupId>
<artifactId>commons</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<name>commons</name>
<description>common dependencies library</description>
<properties>
<java.version>1.8</java.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
With the above pom, I successfully installed it into the local maven repository by using mvn install.
In another project my-service, which uses this installed library, within the IntelliJ IDEA, it is fine compiling and running. There is the pom.xml for the my-service
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<dependencies>

<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
However, when running with mvn compile, I got the following errors:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile) on project my-service: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:
[ERROR] /Users/doe/IdeaProjects/my-service/src/main/java/com/example/myservice/configs/WebSecurityConfig.java:[3,45] package com.example.library.commons.filters does not exist

The library project is created as part of the IntelliJ IDEA module within the same project as the my-service module. I guess the IntelliJ IDEA knows how to internally references module to compile the depending modules, but with Maven, it is a different story.
My goal is to compile and package the my-service module as a single jar that includes the commons library module. Now I can't even get it to compile with Maven, what did I do wrong?
Apache Maven version 3.3.9 . Operating system: OS X.

Answer 1

It turns out the Spring-boot-maven plugin is not needed in the library project because a library doesn't need to produce an executable ueber jar. After removing the plugin, it compiles successfully.
