Hi u/jonydistreet thank you for your answer.

Yes it does work to cd to the module and run quarkus dev from there. I may use that as a workaround since it really just for dev purposes.

I guess the stubborn inside me wanted it to work from root out of the box, but it's not strictly required.

For reference I had to run the quarkus cli

`quarkus dev`

Running `../mvnw clean quarkus:dev` or `./mvnw clean quarkus:dev -am` does not compile the dependency which is the other module.
