I'd say it depends on the situation. If you use a shared package, this will introduce a coupling between the two projects. This makes sense, if both of the project build up on the same data classes and therefore will have the same dto objects to work with. Ideally you would have your own nexus which simplifies the usage of the shared artefact. Otherwise, if only a few classes are redundant I probably would implement it in each sevice separately, which decouples them too.

I am afraid that you need to decide which one the right solution is for your project.
