Maven: Package does not exist + cannot find symbol

Question

I know this question has been asked a lot, however no answer I found is relevant or applicable to my situation.

I have a lot of projects which are having the following folder structure:

main
+-- pom.xml
+-- shared
    +--- pom.xml
    +--- org.apache.felix
      +---- pom.xml
    +--- com.google.protobuf
      +---- pom.xml
    +--- project1 
      +---- pom.xml
    +--- project2
      +---- pom.xml
    +--- project3
      +---- pom.xml
    +--- ...

Basically some jar projects assisting the others with source files. And I am trying to compile everything. The process compiles the jar projects, but gives error at the project1 with the following:

package org.apache.felix.service.command does not exist

and

cannot find symbol [ERROR] symbol:   class activator

the latter is expected because of the first error. I believe there is some referencing error somewhere. I am sharing the following pom.xml files of mine:

pom.xml of org.apache.felix

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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">

      <artifactId>shared.master</artifactId>

   <groupId>shared</groupId>
   <artifactId>org.apache.felix</artifactId>
   <name>org.apache.felix</name>
   <version>1.0.0</version>
</project>

pom.xml of project1 which throws the error

         </plugin>
      </plugins>
   </build>
</project>

And this is the MANIFEST.MF file of the project1:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-Name: project1
Bundle-SymbolicName: project1
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0
Fragment-Host: shared.mw;bundle-version="1.0.0"
Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: JavaSE-1.7
Bundle-ClassPath: .,
 bundle/system/org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime-0.10.0.jar
Export-Package: shared.cmd.ext
Import-Package: shared,
 shared.cmd,
 shared.comp,
 shared.mw,
 shared.sched,
 shared.service,
 org.apache.felix.service.command,
 org.apache.log4j,
 org.osgi.framework
Require-Bundle: org.apache.felix;bundle-version="1.0.0",
 org.apache.activemq

By the way I am running the script from the /shared directory, not /main.

Anyone faced a similar situation?
