Error building custom ros messages

I want to use ros messages from asctec_mav_framework. Using rosgenmsg following steps in documentation. It is giving build error.

      Building custom message files for the following packages:
       asctec_hl_comm
       asctec_hl_firmware
       asctec_hl_gps
       asctec_hl_interface
       asctec_mav_framework
       catkin_simple
       glog_catkin

    :rosjava_messages is spawning subprojects: [asctec_hl_comm, asctec_hl_firmware, asctec_hl_gps, asctec_hl_interface, asctec_mav_framework, catkin_simple, glog_catkin]

I tried with std_msgs folder put in the main folder but still same error.

[Rachana Agrawal]

Problem is solved. Have to add std_msgs in dependencies in the package.xml file.

Thank you

[Akila Ganlath]

I had the same issue with ardrone_autonomy and your solution worked. Thank you for your contribution, I had thought I was facing JDK compiler issues.

[Chris Ferone]

I also had the same problem, but was confused because my package.xml file already had:

<depend>sensor_msgs</depend>

You need to add:

<build_depend>std_msgs</build_depend>
