Adding one maven project into another maven project causing Could not resolve dependencies error

I have two projects. ABC and XYZ . What I need is to get the ABC classes in XYZ

.For this I have added dependency of ABC into XYZ and did the mvn clean in eclipse. It worked!

but when I did mvn clean install it is showing 

Failed to execute goal on project XYZ: Could not resolve dependencies
Failure to find ABC-SERVER:ABC:jar:Server in https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository.

Here is my pom's ABC's pom.xml:

<groupId>abc-server</groupId>
    <artifactId>ABCServer</artifactId>
    <name>ABCServer</name>
    <version>Server</version>
    <packaging>war</packaging>

XYZ's pom.xml:

<dependency>
        <groupId>abc-server</groupId>
        <artifactId>ABCServer</artifactId>
        <version>Server</version>
    </dependency>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <source>${java.version}</source>
                <target>${java.version}</target>
                <compilerArgument>-Xlint:all</compilerArgument>
                <showWarnings>true</showWarnings>
                <showDeprecation>true</showDeprecation>

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

What is the way to do this. I need to run mvn clean package from windows command line.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Look at the error message:

Failure to find ABC-SERVER:ABC:jar:Server

Obviously, it will never find that dependency because no such artifact exists. Your ABC-SERVER is packaged as a war.

You can make it resolve the dependency correctly by adding <type>war</type> to the dependency in XYZ, but if XYZ is also a war, this may not be what you want. Maven will overlay the ABC-SERVER war on the XYZ war (see https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/overlays.html for more details).

If you just want to reuse the classes from the ABC-SERVER webapp, I suppose the correct way to do that is to separate the classes into a new jar artifact and use that in both webapps.

The problem is that you are packaging the project ABC as war. you need to change the packaging to jar..
So change <packaging>war</packaging> to <packaging>jar</packaging>

you have to deploy your ABCServer artifact to your remote repository.

a mvn deploy on your ABCServer repository should do the trick
