  <p>having weird problem with maven I checked DataOperationUtils.java is already compiled in target folder same folder where XMLutil.java is so why maven is not be able to find DataOperationutils.class in XMLUtils.java
  code snippet for XMLUtils.java</p>
  
  <pre><code>public static float getNodeTextAsFloat(Node node, String xpath,
              float defaultValue) {
          float returnValue = defaultValue;
          if (node != null) {
              Node tempNode = node.selectSingleNode(xpath);
              if (tempNode != null) {
                  String nodeValue = tempNode.getText().trim();
                  returnValue = DataOperationUtils.parseFloat(nodeValue,
                          defaultValue);
              }
          }
          return returnValue;
