Why in Maven Error 'java: cannot find symbol'?

Question

I am using Intellij Idea to build a java maven project from a MAC OS machine. When I am trying to run 'compile' an error is issued:

Error:(120,41) java: cannot find symbol

A line with this error (it works correctly):

for (Field field : FieldUtilsExt.getFieldsWithAnnotation(PageFactory.getInstance().getCurrentPage().getClass(), ElementTitle.class))

In Google, I found only information that such an error began to appear with JDK7. Everything works great with JDK6. But I still do not understand how to solve this.

my POM.xml:

I saw a question similar to mine, but it didn’t help me

Answer 1

How I solved the problem:

Added a dependency in pom for the library from which the FieldUtilsExt.getFieldsWithAnnotation (...) method was used
