some classes from maven dependency cannot be referenced

Question

I added org.joda.time dependency through maven, and I can reference for example Seconds class from org.joda.time package but I can't DateTime or others. What can cause this behavior? I can browse joda-time-2.9.9.jar in Maven Dependencies and all classes are there.

As you see Seconds class is imported as expected but DateTimeField is not recognized.

@Yogesh_D I added the screenshot, I think it's more descriptive than code — user1902247, Jun 07 '17 at 11:29
Seems weird, on a separate note, you have a static SDF, its not a thread safe. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4021151/java-dateformat-is-not-threadsafe-what-does-this-leads-to — Yogesh_D, Jun 07 '17 at 11:39

First try ALT+F5
If the error persists, try to build the project from the command line (mvn clean package, or through Eclipse as "Run As -> Maven build...").
If the compilation shows errors, fix them (maybe you need another version of your jar or some other jar shadows the classes you need).

Did all of the above before I posted here. It's a really weird behavior. – user1902247 Jun 07 '17 at 11:36

Problem was in corrupted jars. After i deleted joda.time folder from local maven repo and did Maven->Update it started to work.
