imports are not resolved in maven multi module project

[sagIoTPower]

Hi,

I use vcode for a multi module project cumulocity-dynamic-mqtt-mapper, (branch develop).

The project structure is as follows: |----mqtt-mapping-service |  |----pom.xml |----mqtt-mapping-interface |  |----pom.xml |----mqtt-mapping-extension |  |----pom.xml |----pom.xml

When ...

1. I open the project in vcode (extension pack vscjava.vscode-java-pack) and
2. navigate to the module mqtt-mapping-extension and
3. open class mqtt-mapping extension/src/main/java/mqtt/mapping/processor/extension/external/ProcessorExtensionCustomEvent.java
4. I see the following errors: The import mqtt.mapping.model cannot be resolvedJava(268435846) mqtt.mapping in the source editor:

Environment

• Operating System: MacOS
• JDK version: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu11.60+19-CA (build 11.0.17+8-LTS, mixed mode)- Visual Studio Code version:
• Java extension version: v0.25.12

Steps To Reproduce

1. clone the project (https://github.com/SoftwareAG/cumulocity-dynamic-mqtt-mapper/tree/develop)
2. navigate to the module mqtt-mapping-extensionand open class mqtt-mapping-extension/src/main/java/mqtt/mapping/processor/extension/external/ProcessorExtensionCustomEvent.java

Expected Result

When I open the same project in IntelliJ I don't get any errors. In can use classes from the module mqtt-mapping-interface in the module mqtt-mapping-extension.

@snjeza thank you very much for your proposal. This works indeed.

But I still do not understand why this is additional dependency:

       <dependency>
            <groupId>com.softwareag.c8y.mqtt</groupId>
            <artifactId>mqtt-mapping-service</artifactId>
            <version>${revision}</version>
       </dependency>

is required?

It is only required for the editing in vscode. I don't need this dependency when I run mvn from the command line and I don't need in IntelliJ.

@sagIoTPower It is an upstream m2e issue. I can reproduce it in eclipse. You can create a new issue at https://github.com/eclipse-m2e/m2e-core/issues

Here's some output logs for the plugin:

In my case, there's an annotation com.baomidou.mybatisplus.annotation.TableField included in my dto package:

Which located in library mybatis-plus-annotation-3.5.5.jar

but itself has a dependency from package org.apache.ibatis.type, which comes from another library mybatis-3.5.15.jar

and I only included the mybatis-plus-annotation-3.5.5.jar library in my dto layer of pom.xml

as soon as I remove the com.baomidou.mybatisplus.annotation.TableField annotation from the DTO class, the errors vanished, so I'm guessing the plugin is trying to get all dependencies of class (both directly and indirectly), so when it can't get the indirectly dependencies, the related errors pops up.

Hopes anyone facing the same issue found my comments helpful 😉
