java - jar not created properly mvn relase

Question

I tried to create jar for a service A, which needs to be imported into service B. when I ran the below command

mvn release:prepare release:perform -Darguments="-DenvironmentName=<env>"

the jar got created but I am not able to import it into the service B. Error says "Cannot resolve symbol".

My guess is that the jar is not created properly, since it has these 3 folders:

• BOOT-INF
• META-INF
• org.springframework.boot.loader

when. my service name path is like in.xyz.abc.commons, there is no folder of this name in the jar

Answer 1

If a JAR was created with the spring boot parent, it cannot be used as dependency.

So if A is a Spring boot service, it cannot be used in B.
