Custom package does not exist in maven project

Time:12-26

I've been working on a bigger project for about a month now. It is a multi-module maven/java project. So far, I've had this "error" several times, but I've successfully resolved it after trying to launch the app a few times. Until now, I thought it was a bug in my IntelliJ Idea. Yesterday, the same problem happened to me again, and no matter how many times I tried to start the application, the same error happened to me again and again.

An error occurs when building the application:

This is the first error line I see:

package com.marketcruiser.common.entity does not exist

When I expand the error:

Architecture of my project is:

market-cruiser-project -> market-cruiser-common
                       -> market-cruiser-web-parent -> market-cruiser-back-end
                                                    -> market-cruiser-front-end

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this problem?

What I tried to do in order to resolve the issue:

  1. I used @EntityScan({"com.marketcruiser.common.entity", "com.marketcruiser.admin.user"}) in my SpringBootApplication
  2. I updated pom.xml to java version installed on my PC.
  3. I tried to rebuild the app several times.

CodePudding user response:

In your current setup, market-cruiser-common and market-cruiser-web-parent are two fully separate projects that don't have anything in common. Your current structure is not what you think it is, but instead this:

market-cruiser-project
market-cruiser-common
market-cruiser-web-parent -> market-cruiser-back-end
                          -> market-cruiser-front-end

market-cruiser-common and market-cruiser-web-parent should use market-cruiser-project as parent, not spring-boot-starter-parent. That should instead be the parent of market-cruiser-project. Then you get the structure you want.
