Spring Boot application failure - Error java package does not exist

I'm having a Spring Boot project referring to an external module to execute the results.

I have already added the external module under module dependencies:

However when I run the Spring Boot application, it fails with this error: Error:(3, 16) java: package examples does not exist

CustomerLossPrediction in the below source referring to external module and call to this module fails even though I added the module to project workspace and dependencies are added correctly.

package com.example.demo.service;

import examples.CustomerLossPrediction;
import org.nd4j.linalg.api.ndarray.INDArray;
import org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartFile;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

@Service
public class DL4JServiceImpl implements DL4JService {
    @Override
    public String fetchPrediction(MultipartFile file) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
        File convFile = new File( file.getOriginalFilename());
        file.transferTo(convFile);
        INDArray array = new CustomerLossPrediction().generateOutput(convFile);
        return array.toString();
    }
}

Here is the pom.xml if needed:

I'm thinking it happens because I tried to refer an external module that is some way or the other cannot refer from Spring Boot module?
