[FIXED] Unable to use class from Custom Spring boot library

Issue

Goal

I want to use a private repository as a library in other spring boot projects by hosting it as a GitHub package.

Library project

https://github.com/sagarnayak/privatecentralrepo

Client Project

https://github.com/sagarnayak/repoclientproject

Steps To Reproduce

the library project has a library001 module. this is what I want to use as a library for other projects.

In the library module pom file, I have added the repackage execution goal.

......
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>repackage</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <classifier>exec</classifier>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>
......

I want to use the module as a library and host it as a private GitHub package.

When I do the mvnw deploy in the library001 module this should create an exec jar and push to GitHub to use this library in other projects. Github has this exec jar.

To use the jar in the client project I have added this as a dependency in the client project.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sagar</groupId>
    <artifactId>libraray001</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <classifier>exec</classifier>
</dependency>

This gets the project into the external libraries part of the client project. and this has the class that I want to use in the library (TestModel001).

But when I try to import this into any classes that I want to use it can not resolve the import.

How do I use the library project in this project?

Solution

I solved the issue with this -

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>repackage</id>
            <configuration>
                <classifier>exec</classifier>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

The issue was with the pom file.

I was using the configurations for an older version.
