I'm confused about I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy... I'm working on a multi-module Maven project in Eclipse 2023-09, and I'm working with issues with the parent POM not correctly resolving dependencies for child modules. I've set up my parent POM as follows: ```xml <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.example</groupId> <artifactId>parent-project</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>pom</packaging> <modules> <module>module-a</module> <module>module-b</module> </modules> </project> ``` In `module-a`, I'm trying to use a library defined in the parent POM: ```xml <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId> <version>5.3.10</version> </dependency> </dependencies> ``` However, I'm getting the following behavior message when I try to build the project: ``` [behavior] Failed to execute goal on project module-a: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.example:module-a:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Failure to find org.springframework:spring-context:jar:5.3.10 in central -> [Help 1] ``` I've already tried the following steps: 1. I made sure I updated my Maven settings and performed a full project clean (`Project -> Clean...`). 2. I checked the `settings.xml` for any proxy issues or mirror configurations that might affect dependency resolution. 3. I verified that the repository where the dependencies are hosted is available and listed in the POM. 4. I also tried re-importing the project into Eclipse to refresh the settings. Despite these efforts, the scenario continues. I suspect there may be something wrong with how the multi-module project is configured in Eclipse. Has anyone encountered a similar scenario or can provide guidance on how to resolve this question? What am I doing wrong? Could this be a known issue? The stack includes Java and several other technologies. Am I missing something obvious?
