Hello there, I migrating my Java 11 Modular Project to work with Maven in Netbeans 12.0: I have split it down into the projects shown.
DT.FrontEndFX depends up on DT.Core and DT.Reader, both of which build fine. When I come to build DT.FrontEndFX, I get a run of "Can not find symbol" errors which is confusing me as the missing symbols are all present in the project!! It is probably my inexperience, but I would be grateful for some help. Output below: cd C:\Users\User\Documents\NetBeansProjects\DT.FrontEndFX; "JAVA_HOME=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk-11.0.7" cmd /c "\"C:\\Program Files\\NetBeans-12.0\\netbeans\\java\\maven\\bin\\mvn.cmd\" -Dmaven.ext.class.path=\"C:\\Program Files\\NetBeans-12.0\\netbeans\\java\\maven-nblib\\netbeans-eventspy.jar\" -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 clean install" Scanning for projects... -----------------< com.diagrammer.tools:DT.FrontEndFX >----------------- Building DT.FrontEndFX 1.0-SNAPSHOT --------------------------------[ jar ]--------------------------------- --- maven-clean-plugin:2.5:clean (default-clean) @ DT.FrontEndFX --- Deleting C:\Users\User\Documents\NetBeansProjects\DT.FrontEndFX\target --- maven-resources-plugin:2.6:resources (default-resources) @ DT.FrontEndFX --- Using 'UTF-8' encoding to copy filtered resources.
