QueryDSL Q classes are generated in target folder but cannot be imported in other spring boot modules

Question

I have multi module project (spring boot) and I configured QueryDSL in dao module it's working perfectly and it generated all Q classes. But when I import this module in service module and I import a Q class in the IDE (Intellij) it does not show any error but when running mvn clean install I get an error that the class is unresolved.

Unresolved reference: QRole

Here is the code for pom (dao module) :

Answer 1

The solution is:

1. Right-click the project folder
2. Select Maven
3. Select Generate Sources And Update Folders

Then, Intellij automatically imports generated sources to the project.
