java: building interdependent artifacts with maven

[Andrius Merkys <andrius.merkys@gmail.com>]

Dear Mentors,

I am preparing a package for apache-opennlp [1]. Building it results in six artifacts, one of them, org.apache.opennlp:opennlp-morfologik-addon:jar:1.9.0, depends on another artifact org.apache.opennlp:opennlp-tools:jar:debian which is built before the former. However, opennlp-tools is not found by opennlp-morfologik-addon, possibly because it is not installed in local maven-repo, nor placed in CLASSPATH:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project opennlp-morfologik-addon: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.apache.opennlp:opennlp-morfologik-addon:jar:1.9.0: Cannot access apache.snapshots (http://repository.apache.org/snapshots) in offline mode and the artifact org.apache.opennlp:opennlp-tools:jar:debian has not been downloaded from it before. -> [Help 1]

Is there a standard way to deal with such problem?

Best regards,
Andrius
