Hmmm... it appears to be that I have it. First, I ran the dependency:resolve goal after right-clicking the top level project and selecting Run Maven -> Other Goals... Then, in the module-info.java for the PeerDevice project, I entered requires org.mongodb.bson. Finally, in a source file of this sub-project, I could type "import org." and the IDE would suggest bson as one of the available subpackage names at that level.
I'll come back if something else is amiss.
