Exercise - Maven by Example book - maven

Question

I'm trying to study Maven, and so I created a simple web application as provided on the book "Maven by Example", and in that applicaton I have the simple-weather having simple-model as a dependency, inside the simple-parent maven project.
I just copied the pom.xml (making just adjustments to the hibernate artifact version), and when I run "mvn install" on the "simple-model", it builds ok, but when I run "mvn install" on the "simple-weather" it doesn't build ok because it says it doesn't find the packages related to the simple-model dependency.
NOTE: If I create two eclipse projects and relate simple-model" it compiles ok, so there is no issue related to the projects compilation.
See both pom.xml. I suppose the issue is on the pom.xml, but I have no idea of what to do. I already tried to fix in many ways, but got no success at all.
I already copied even the group and artifact id from the simple-model to the simple-weather to guarantee it was not a typing issue. :-(

Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Is the source in simple-model actually correct?
Please note that Maven is not complaining for unresolved dependency. Dependencies seems correct and it is compilation error that it cannot find the package org.sonatype.mavenbook.weather.model. It is mostly because such package is available neither in the simple-web project itself, nor in its dependencies (i.e. simple-model).
Check the JAR created in simple-model to see if it contains correct content.
