Creating maven dependency of Project A and using it in Project B-CodePudding

I have a maven Spring boot project for which I've created a jar to use as a dependency externally in other projects. I just can't get it to work. Here are my steps. Can someone please guide me?

Here is my pom.xml for Project 1.

<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 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

<groupId>org.myapp.logmonitoring</groupId>
<artifactId>logmonitoring</artifactId>
<name>logmonitoring</name>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
    <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>2.4.5</version>
        <type>pom</type>
    </dependency>
    <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-starter-web -->

        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.2</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>test-jar</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
            <configuration>

            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

And this is my pom.xml for Project 2. It just doesn't work :(

<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 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>org.myapp.logmonitoring.host1</groupId>
<artifactId>logmonitoring-host1</artifactId>
<name>logmonitoring-host1</name>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
    <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.myapp.logmonitoring</groupId>
        <artifactId>logmonitoring</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

You have to put Jar as well as pom file of 1st project in.m2 repository.

.m2/org/myapp/logmonitoring/1.0-SNAPSHOT.

then add dependency like this

 <dependency>
        <groupId>org.myapp</groupId>
        <artifactId>logmonitoring</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>

If you are using mac then you can find .m2 repository in

/Users/<user_name>/.m2.

In Windowns it's in

C:\Users<User_Name>.m2

In linux it's in

/home/<User_Name>/.m2

Also unhide Hidden files
