JavaFX with Maven fails to import module from the same project

I have the following folder structure in a Java project:
main-module (Java module)
sub-module-to-import (Java module)
ImportedClass.java
sub-module (Java module)
fx-sub-module (JavaFX module)
- pom.xml and classes.
Whenever I import sub-module-to-import into fx-sub-module from maven, I can access ImportedClass.java after importing it in fx-sub-module's classes (instantiate the class, access its methods etc. in the IDE), but whenever I try to compile the module using mvn clean compile, I get a compilation error of type "cannot find symbol", where the symbol is a method of ImportedClass. Whenever I reload the maven project after adding the module as a dependency, everything is okay, with no XML errors or warnings, I can even ctrl + left click on sub-module-to-import's name and get sent to its pom.xml without issues. The project is a modular one, but I have removed the module-info file in order to not have to use modularity. I am using IntelliJ IDEA.
Here is the pom.xml file:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

After reading a lot about it on the internet and not managing to find a solution, I tried simple things like adding sub-module-to-import to the parent pom.xml of fx-sub-module (which is the pom.xml file of sub-module), but that didn't change anything. I also tried changing plugin/dependency versions, but this also did not help. I would really appreciate any help and will be quick to answer for further clarification on the question. Thanks in advance.

Ensure:
mvn install has been run on the sub-module-to-import maven module.
The Idea project has been synchronized with the maven project after that.

import own .jar file as dependency via Maven and have install discover and retrieve it's dependencies

So this is probably a stupid question, but I have created an own library "testlib" which I want to include in other of my own Maven projects.
This is my own librarys .pom
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"

In order to include my library in another new project, I have created a local repository in my new projects .pom
...
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>data-local</id>
<name>data</name>
<url>file://${project.basedir}/repo</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.test.testlib</groupId>
<artifactId>testlib</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
...
Installing my own library "testlib" via mvn install is working fine for testlib itself. The problem is, that Maven will not detect that "testlib" requires org.slf4j, hence won't get it when I run install.
I have checked other dependencies in my .m2 folder and saw they have a .pom file with the same name as the .jar (for log4j that'd be log4j-1.2.17.pom). I tried copying testlibs .pom next to its .jar and changed the name accordinly, but that doesn't do it.
What do I have to do in order to get the same functionality as any other library from maven central? In other words, I don't want a fat .jar that has all dependencies included. I want a Maven project that adds my library as a dependency to discover that it needs sl4j and include it when mvn install is run.

Obtaining systemPath from properties file

I'm very new to maven, so kindly bear with me.
i have a maven project with almost 100 dependencies all of which are present in my local system. So I'm adding them to my classpath via pom.xml with <scope> being system and <systemPath> giving path to the said dependencies. A rough structure of my pom.xml looks like this:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
This includes all the jars into my classpath and everything is running fine.
But i would like to keep the path/to/directory/outside/project/directory/ inside my app.propeties file and pom.xml should fetch this path from the properties file.
Is there a way in maven to do this.
Could somebody help me here. Thanks in advance.

Spring application context unable to find property files under maven resources folder

I am using maven in my project & I've put database.properties file under
maven resources folder.
I am accessing it in spring application context
<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:database.properties" />
But I don't understand why I am getting this file not found error on server start.
Could not load properties; nested exception is
java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource
[database.properties] cannot be opened because it does not exist
To my knowledge whatever resource is put under resources folder it is added to the classpath automatically by maven.

NOTE: Seems like there is some problem with the M2E plugin of eclipse luna. Executed the same code in Juno & it worked fine.

That's not enough to build a deployable war file with maven. You need at least the war plugin. There's a thorough tutorial here:
http://crunchify.com/how-to-create-a-war-file-from-eclipse-using-maven-plugin-apache-maven-war-plugin-usage/
Your pom will look something like below, and you'll need to run mvn clean install against that.
Also I see you have a spring app, where are the spring dependencies in the pom file?

maven 3 interproject depedency with war packaging

I have Eclipse Indigo and M2E plugin installed.
So essentially I have a standard maven web project (let's call it proj-service) that is built into a war file in the package phase. This all works fine. My issue comes in when I have my other project (lets call it proj1) that needs to use classes from proj-service. I know that this is possible in maven+eclipse but it does not seem to be working at the moment. I have the following in proj1's pom right now:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.mycompany.foo</groupId>
<artifactId>proj1</artifactId>
<packaging>war</packaging>
<version>1.0</version>
<name>proj1</name>
<properties>
<spring.version>3.1.0.RELEASE</spring.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<!-- Maven Repo Libraries -->
.........
<!-- Interproject dependencies -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.mycompany.foo</groupId>
<artifactId>proj-service</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>war</type>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<build>
<finalName>lsoap</finalName>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.7</source>
<target>1.7</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>

Unfortunately with Maven's war packaging you can't reuse classes from war project, because there is no direct build artifact you can use for the class path.
So, in order to do share classes properly you need to extract those common classes into a 3rd common project (jar packaging) and make it as dependency in both of your other projects.

First you have to change the configuration of your proj-service project in the way to change the configuration of the maven-war-plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<attachClasses>true</attachClasses>
<archiveClasses>true</archiveClasses>
...
</configuration>
</plugin>
This will it make possible to use the classes from the proj-service project in other projects via the following dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>myGroup</groupId>
<artifactId>myArtifact</artifactId>
<version>myVersion</myVersion>
<classifier>classes</classifier>
</dependency>
This will result in changing your dependency from:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.mycompany.foo</groupId>
<artifactId>proj-service</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>war</type>
</dependency>
into:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.mycompany.foo</groupId>
<artifactId>proj-service</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<classifier>classes</classifier/>
</dependency>
