maven multi-module snapshot Java

I'm upgrading from an older version and I'm trying to figure out I'm working with an scenario when trying to build my multi-module Maven project. After updating some dependencies, I began receiving the following behavior message: ``` Could not find artifact com.example:my-library:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT in central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2) ``` This particular dependency, `my-library`, is a local project that I have defined in my parent `pom.xml`. Here’s how my `pom.xml` looks for the parent module: ```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>my-parent</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>pom</packaging> <modules> <module>my-library</module> <module>my-app</module> </modules> </project> ``` My library module's `pom.xml` is 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> <parent> <groupId>com.example</groupId> <artifactId>my-parent</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </parent> <artifactId>my-library</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </project> ``` I've confirmed that the `my-library` module builds successfully on its own and that I can see the generated JAR in the `target` directory. However, when I try to build the parent project, the build fails because Maven seems unable to locate the SNAPSHOT artifact. I've tried cleaning the project using `mvn clean`, and I also ran `mvn install` on the `my-library` module before attempting to build the parent again, but the scenario continues. I also noticed that my local `.m2` repository does not contain the `my-library` artifact after building. Is there a reason why Maven need to find this locally built SNAPSHOT artifact, or am I missing some configuration to ensure it's recognized in the parent project? What are your experiences with this?
