Trying to generate server side code from graphQL schema using following plugin but generated code is having a compile time error "package com.graphql_java_generator.server.util does not exist". There is no jar added with this package.

The issue is due to <type>pom</type>

This is due to an error in the doc: this changed in an early version of the plugin, but this change has not be reported into the doc.

The graphql-java-server-runtime dependency should be written this way:

        <dependency>
         <groupId>com.graphql-java-generator</groupId>
            <artifactId>graphql-java-server-runtime</artifactId>
            <version>${graphql-maven-plugin.version}</version>
        </dependency>

The doc is now corrected.
