I’m implementing a Keycloak authentication provider (for Keycloak 6.0.1) which returns a message when a user is temporarily locked (like specified at [Keycloak Custom message on user temporary lock](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57112945/keycloak-custom-message-on-user-temporary-lock#answer-61223715))

When I do `mvn clean install wildfly:deploy` I get :

```auto
[ERROR] Caused by: java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: org.keycloak.authentication.AuthenticatorFactory: Provider com.mumba.cloud.authenticator.LockedUserAuthenticatorFactory could not be instantiated
[ERROR] Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed to link com/mumba/cloud/authenticator/LockedUserAuthenticator (Module \"deployment.lockeduser-authenticator-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar\" from Service Module Loader): org/keycloak/authentication/authenticators/browser/UsernamePasswordForm"}}}}

```

I’m looking for some help on how to track down why I’m getting the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError and why Maven (or maybe it’s wildfly) can’t seem to find org/keycloak/authentication/authenticators/browser/UsernamePasswordForm

It isn’t a compile-time error, and I believe my import statement below is correct for UsernamePasswordForm (see code below).

I also think I have correctly added the dependency (keycloak-services) to my pom.xml (see below).

I’m very new to Maven (and Java/Keycloak development), so I’m not sure where to dig to track this down.

Anyone have any pointers?

```auto
package com.mumba.cloud.authenticator;

import org.keycloak.authentication.authenticators.browser.UsernamePasswordForm;

public class LockedUserAuthenticator extends UsernamePasswordForm {
    @Override
    protected String tempDisabledError() {
        return "ACCOUNT IS temporarily disabled.";
    }
}

```

My pom.xml includes :

```auto
    <properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
        <java.version>1.8</java.version>
        <keycloak-version>6.0.1</keycloak-version>
        <maven.test.skip>true</maven.test.skip>
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.keycloak</groupId>
            <artifactId>keycloak-core</artifactId>

            <artifactId>keycloak-services</artifactId>
            <version>${keycloak-version}</version>
        </dependency>
...

```

tl;dr you need to have a manifest in your jar that says which keycloak modules you depend on

Thanks heaps.

In case it helps someone else, I ended up with the following, which worked for my situation:

```

                        <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
                        <classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix>
                    </manifest>
