Class from maven dependency is not listed in eclipse “Open Type”

Question

I am having a maven project that has few maven dependencies. Out of those dependencies, there is a custom jar coming from our custom maven repo.

When try to search for the classes from that custom jar using ' Open Type ', I am unable to see the classes. But I see the jar is available under ' Maven Dependencies ' of the project. Also I am able to use the classes from the jar in my project.

PS:

• When I run tests from the project I get " ClassNotFoundException " for the classes from that Jar. Not sure if there is a relation between this and the issue of eclipse unable to list it in "Open Type".

Answer 1

There might be multiple reasons:

1. try mvn eclipse:eclipse
2. try in package explorer
