I have maven project that has main POM module, for example Main. Main contains two pom-modules: "core" and "app". "core" contains jar-module "A", "app" contains jar-module "B" I have next classes:

1. app.B.src.main.java.di.AModule.kt //dependency injection module
2. app.B.src.main.java.domain.App.java //main app
3. core.A.src.main.java.domain.BModule.kt //another injections

When i import AModule.kt and BModule.kt into App.java, it looks like

import di.AModule;
import di.BModule;

Maven can't finish install-phase and says "Cannot find symbol" pointing to import AModule, that is semantically closer to App.java

What should I do with pom-files or packages to fix this problem?

P.S. Also I have a problem that maven doesn't see core.A.src.test.java.SomethingTest.kt during test-phase

Your projects (according to what can be extracted from your question):

 - Main
    - core
       - src/main/java
      |   - di
      |      - AModule.kt
       - target
      |   - A.jar
       - pom.xml ... <artifactId>A
    - app
       - src/main/java
      |   - domain
      |      - App.java
      |      - BModule.kt
       - target
      |   - B.jar
       - pom.xml ... <artifactId>B

Projects A and B are independent of each other. Being both a <module> of Main just let you build them in one go (via building Main).

To be able to reference AModule in App you have to declare its JAR A as a <dependency> in B's POM:

    ...
    <artifactId>B</artifactId>
    ...
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>...</groupId>
            <artifactId>A</artifactId>
            <version>...</version>
        </dependency>
    ...

The <packaging> type of projects that contain code, and should create an artifact, has to be jar, war, etc., not pom.

It's also recommended to separate different source types like:

   ...
    - app
   |   - src/main
   |      - java
   |     |   - domain
   |     |      - App.java
   |      - kotlin
   |         - domain
   |            - BModule.kt
   ...
