about generate maven dependency

I am pretty new to maven. Now I have a maven project developed. My another project needs to depend on this one. Does anyone know how can I generate my own dependency? So that my second project can add the first one as a dependency in pom. thank you very much

Since your first project is already a maven-project, just install it in your local repository by running mvn install in the first project's root directory.

Then you can include a dependency in your second project by simply referencing the groupId, artifactId and version you defined in the first project.

So if your first project had the following in its pom:

    <project>
        <groupId>com.yourdomain</groupId>
        <artifactId>yourcomponent</artifactId>
        <version>1.0</version>
    ... <!-- more here -->

you can include this in your second project:

    <dependencies>
       <dependency>
            <groupId>com.yourdomain</groupId>
            <artifactId>yourcomponent</artifactId>
            <version>1.0</version>
       </dependency>
    </dependencies>

Unless you deploy your project 1 jar to a central maven repository, this will only work if your jar is in your local repository (via mvn install).

Maven projects are identified by the "Maven coordinates", that is, the ArtifactID, GroupID and version.

Say you create your first project and run maven install. Your local repository (in $HOME/.m2/) will now contain the compiled project plus whatever coordinates you put in there.

Your second project must now only depend on the said coordinates.

I would suggest googling a bit on maven. I made a tutorial a long time ago that might help you, even if the examples are a little simple. Here you go and good luck!
