I think the component of your tool isn't bundling up the artifact
containing this class. In the pom.xml for your component you need to
specify a dependency of something like (version might be different):

            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.azeckoski</groupId>
                <artifactId>reflectutils</artifactId>
                <version>0.9.11</version>
            </dependency>

or you need to put this dependency in the implementation of you
service which will then get pulled into your component transitively.
Without knowing the layout of your project it's tricky to say exactly
which files need to be edited.
