Spring Boot 2 Package not found

Question

Hello everybody i just started learning spring. I get the following error while maven packaging

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.0:compile (default-compile) on project pet-clinic-web: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:
[ERROR] /C:/Users/user/Dropbox/yyy/spring/frameworkGuru/my-pet-clinic/pet-clinic-web/src/main/java/xxx/xxx/mypetclinic/controllers/OwnerController.java:[3,45] package xxx.xxx.mypetclinic.services does not exist

[ERROR] symbol:   class OwnerService
[ERROR] location: class xxx.xxx.mypetclinic.controllers.OwnerController
[ERROR] -> [Help 1]

I have 2 modules data and web, i'm trying to access OwnerService(data->services) from OwnerController(web->controllers). I have added data module as a dependency in web pom

Intellij does not show errors, i can even list all owners it works fine but i try to package and error shows up. Here are some project files.

I tried with older spring boot version 2.0.3 the error is gone, but in 2.1.1 persists.

OwnerController

package xxx.xxx.mypetclinic.controllers;

import xxx.xxx.mypetclinic.services.OwnerService;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

@RequestMapping("/owners")
@Controller

    private final OwnerService ownerService;

    public OwnerController(OwnerService ownerService) {
        this.ownerService = ownerService;
    }

    public String listOwners(Model model){

        model.addAttribute("owners",ownerService.findAll());

        return "owners/index";
    }
}

OwnerService

package xxx.xxx.mypetclinic.services;

import xxx.xxx.mypetclinic.model.Owner;

public interface OwnerService extends CrudService<Owner, Long>{

    Owner findByLastName(String lastName);

}

and OwnerServiceMap implementation

package xxx.xxx.mypetclinic.services.map;

import xxx.xxx.mypetclinic.model.Owner;
import xxx.xxx.mypetclinic.services.OwnerService;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import java.util.Set;

@Service
public class OwnerServiceMap extends AbstractMapService<Owner, Long> implements OwnerService {

    @Override
    public Set<Owner> findAll() {
        return super.findAll();
    }

    @Override
    public Owner findById(Long id) {
        return super.findById(id);
    }

    @Override
    public Owner save(Owner object) {
        return super.save(object);
    }

    @Override
    public void delete(Owner object) {
        super.delete(object);
    }

    @Override
    public void deleteById(Long id) {
        super.deleteById(id);
    }

    @Override
    public Owner findByLastName(String lastName) {
        return null;
    }
}

I think you're missing a

<dependencyManagement>
   <dependencies>
      <dependency>
        <!-- Import dependency management from Spring Boot -->
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-dependencies</artifactId>
        <version>SPRING-BOOT-VERSION-HERE</version>
        <type>pom</type>
        <scope>import</scope>
      </dependency>
   </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

from your pom.xml.
