Hello All,

Am trying to refer the service builder jar in other portlet module.

project-a
  project-a-portlet
  project-a-portlet-service.


in project project-b pom.xml i have provided below dependency.
  
  <dependency>
            <groupId>some group id</groupId>
            <artifactId>project-a-portlet-service</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.0</version>
   </dependency>
  
I observed a strage behaviour.  project-a-portlet-service.jar is including at runtime but not at compile time. 
When I extract the project-b.war could see the project-a-portlet-service.jar in web-inf/lib folder. But it is not there at compile time.

Please let me know If am missing anything in project-b pom.xml

It should not be there either at compile time nor runtime, there is nothing magical about service builder with respect to maven.

Maven looks up and includes artifacts from a repository.

To share your service jar, you need to publish it to a local repository. If you are a sole developer, you can just use the mvn install command to push the artifacts to the .m2 local cache. If you are a team, then you need a nexus or artifactory to be your local repository.

Hello David,

Thanks a lot for your quick reply .... 

Its was a basic mistake from my end. I did not do the maven update for my project.
I did , now I could see the jar in maven dependency.
