java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: gg.jte.TemplateOutput exception received when rendering JTE template

Hi All,
I'm writing a maven plugin which is using JTE templates. Here is pom.xml

Here is how I'm rendering the template

CodeResolver codeResolver = new DirectoryCodeResolver(Path.of("jte"));
  TemplateEngine engine = TemplateEngine.create(codeResolver, ContentType.Plain);
  TemplateOutput output = new StringOutput();
  engine.render("example.jte", javaClass, output);

I'm deploying maven plugin to local repo and then run the plugin. Getting the below error. All the other classes are loaded in the runtime environment , but it's complaining for gg.jte.TemplateOutput.
