Hi Pushkar, By chance is the "A" dependency marked with a scope in "B"'s pom, such as test, compile, or provided? If so then you would want to include "A" in your pom as a dependency. As long as "A" is not marked with a scope that excludes it from "B"'s final packaging or it is not excluded by one of the maven packaging plugins then it should pick up the dependency and include it in your NAR when you package your processor. If "A" is indeed marked with a scope that prevents it from being included in the final NAR, you would either want to modify B's pom or explicitly add it as a dependency to your pom file.
