import org.apache.pdfbox.*;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage;
I have this dependency in my pom.xml:
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.pdfbox</groupId>
  <artifactId>pdfbox</artifactId>
  <version>2.0.4</version>
</dependency>
I see this line in my eclipse maven dependencies:
pdfbox-2.0.4.jar - C:\Users\Paul\.m2\repository\org\apache\pdfbox\pdfbox\2.0.4\pdfbox-2.0.4.jar
I check the build path in eclipse, and see pdfbox-2.0.4.jar in the Maven Dependencies part.
I run mvn clean compile in a command prompt (Windows).
I get the error "package org.apache.pdfbox does not exist"
I run mvn dependency:build-classpath -Dmdep.outputFile=cp.txt
The following lines are listed in the class path (at the front of the class path):
C:\Users\Paul\.m2\repository\org\apache\pdfbox\pdfbox\2.0.4\pdfbox-2.0.4.jar;
C:\Users\Paul\.m2\repository\org\apache\pdfbox\fontbox\2.0.4\fontbox-2.0.4.jar;
I look in C:\Users\Paul.m2\repository\org\apache\pdfbox\pdfbox\2.0.4\
and I see pdfbox-2.0.4.jar
So what am I missing? Why is the pdfbox jar not being found?
                That certainly worked. I am a little confused why the * didn't import all, but I guess that doesn't really matter. Thanks so very.

                there is no package on the level you used, which is the top level of the core pdfbox subproject. What would have worked is import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.*;. But you shouldn't use * for imports anyway. stackoverflow.com/questions/147454/…
