Maven build fails: package does not exist
I'm having a strange problem where I have one maven project that has a dependency on another maven project (both are mine) and I'm getting a compilation error complaining that packages don't exist - even though they do.

I've done research (including in this forum) and found numerous items on this issue. I've taken some of the advice found, but it still doesn't work. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
Here's the scenario:
Project A provides functionality that Project B needs to use.

When I build my maven projects I almost always use mvn clean install. I've gone as far as completely removing my ~/.m2/repository and rebuilding, but it still fails.

As the documentation explains, a spring boot project isn't suitable as a dependency for the projects, as the class files are placed somewhere where they can't be seen by the other project, in BOOT-INF/classes: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/1.5.x/maven-plugin/examples/repackage-classifier.html
