I've been breaking my head on this issue for several days now, but I don't have a clue why this isn't working.
Solution
I figured it out. The rest-client-microservice is a Spring Boot project and uses the following plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
The jar is repackaged and all the packages and classes are put in the BOOT-INF folder. That's the reason why Maven is unable to find them. You can fix this by defining the plugin like this:
<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>
With this configuration, the Spring Boot Maven Plugin will create 2 JARs: the main one will be the same as a usual Maven project, while the second one will have the classifier appended and be the executable JAR.
