maven does not see existing dependency

First of all let me admit that this is a question I see all over the Internet. I have tried many of the solutions I have seen with no luck on my end.
So, I have this maven project
<groupId>com.mycompany.InfoFinder</groupId>
<artifactId>InfoFinder</artifactId>
<version>1.0.6.4</version>
and a different project that depends on the first one.
<groupId>com.mycompany.update</groupId>
<artifactId>updates</artifactId>
<version>1.0.44.8</version>
....
<dependency>
<groupId>com.mycompany.InfoFinder</groupId>
<artifactId>InfoFinder</artifactId>
<version>1.0.6.4</version>
<dependency>
When I run mvn clean install -U I get this
.../src/main/java/com/mycompany/Update.java:[3,48] package com.mycompany.companyInfo does not exist
.../src/main/java/eu/com/mycompany/Update.java:[51,36] cannot find symbol....
This line refers to the dependency class, which on eclipse I can click on it and it will open the proper file.
If I change my dependency to the older version
<version>1.0.6.4</version>
It is working just fine.
I can see the folder under the .m2 folder and I tried deleting it with no difference. I also tried different mvn commands, such as dependency:purge-local-repository clean install in order to clear the cache memory, but still with no luck.
I have tried to update/clear the maven and the java project within the eclipse environment, but that didn't work either.
I should admit that this is not the fist time I see this error, but it usually goes away after a few builds attempts.
Can you tell what I am doing wrong.
PS. The projects builds and runs just fine under the eclipse IDE, so the problem must be on the maven end. Also, since maven doesn't complain when I use the older version of the dependency, that should mean that the problem is on the building of the dependency.
Thanks
EDIT
I of course first successfully build the first project (lets call it project A) and then the one that depends on it (lets call it project B), and I get the error there.
The pom files of the two projects are as follow

But I have noted that when start my server before run tests, my test pass, but after run the tests he tried to start my server
I Put the original start/stop jetty
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
<artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${jetty.plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<scanIntervalSeconds>2</scanIntervalSeconds>
</configuration>
</plugin>
but don`t work.

I don't see any Jetty configuration described in the "Start the Server Automatically" section of the linked document. The start and stop goals which are there tied to the pre-integration-test/post-integration-test phase will take care of starting the server before integration tests are run and stopping it afterwards.
Finally you need to ensure that your test is run in the integration test phase and not in the unit test phase. If they are run in the unit test phase, the pre-integration-test phase has not yet been executed and the server has not been started. Name your test SomethingIT.java (not SomethingTest.java) to ensure that it is run in the integration test phase.

Add Redis Module as a Maven Dependency in Mule

Because the issue reported here, I used the 3.3.1 connector version in a non-maven mule project and worked perfectly.
However, I want to add the redis on a maven mule project. But, the redis docs only gives me 2 options: The Release or the Latest version. Both cause the issue reported above.
I have tried to change the version to 3.3.1 or 3.3.2 but when I try to start the project, I got the following error:
Failed to execute goal on project single-sign-on: Could not resolve dependencies for project br.com.xpto:single-sign-on:mule:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at org.mule.modules:mule-module-redis:jar:3.3.2 -> org.mule.tools.devkit:mule-devkit-annotations:jar:3.3.1 -> org.mule.modules:mule-module-annotations:jar:3.3.0 -> org.mule:mule-core:jar:3.3.0 -> javax.activation:activation:jar:1.1-osgi: Failed to read artifact descriptor for javax.activation:activation:jar:1.1-osgi: Could not transfer artifact javax.activation:activation:pom:1.1-osgi from/to codehaus-snaphosts (http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org/): snapshots.repository.codehaus.org
Question: Does anyone know how to add the redis dependency on a maven project without being the release or the latest?

i'm new to maven and geoserver as well. was just trying basic installation of geoserver and found the error in POM.XML file of maven project. Error is shown in two <dependency> tabs which are exactly 1st and 2nd after <dependencies> tab.
Errors :
Missing artifact org.geotools:gt-process:jar:8-SNAPSHOT
Missing artifact org.geoserver:main:jar:tests:8-ENTERPRISE-SNAPSHOT
Thanks for the solution in advance.

If you look at the quick start docs for geotools:
http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/tutorial/quickstart/maven.html
step 7 "under Creating a new project"
If you are using a nightly build (such as 14-SNAPSHOT) and add a
reference to the snapshot repository.

I have taken a quick look at the versions available in this repository and to use it, you will need to change your maven co-ordinates to something like:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.geotools</groupId>
<artifactId>gt-process</artifactId>
<version>10-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.geoserver</groupId>
<artifactId>main</artifactId>
<version>2.4.8</version>
<classifier>tests</classifier>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
as the original versions you are after are not present.

Compiling JUnit class at runtime in glassfish 3

I have in my application JUnit tests to run, but these JUnit tests are created and compiled at runtime. I'm loading a text template, replace some class tags and want to compile this source code at runtime with the javax.tools.Compiler from java.
I'm deploying and running this application on a glassfish 3 and it seems to be the problem, that the compiler can't find the JUnit library (but it is included in the .war) and throwing compile exceptions. The created JUnit test source code would compile, there are no syntax errors or something like that.
The application is build via maven, here is the pom.xml:

I'm using a little modified version of the CharSequenceCompiler (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-jcomp/) to compile the classes at runtime.
The compiler is working for source code using only jdk classes.
Any ideas?
