setting dependency to a project with pom packaging?
Can I create a dependency to a project with pom packaging? This would
be convenient rather than creating separate dependencies on each
module it contains. I tried but unsuccessfully, it seems that Maven is
looking for a jar. Perhaps I am missing something?

I have the same problem with the following pom:
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/org/mule/transports/mule-transports/1.3.3/mule-transports-1.3.3.pom
I would like to set up the modules it refers to as dependencies, but I don't
want to list all of them explicitly; I naively expected importing this
parent pom would do, but unfortunately it doesn't.

Yea, I ran into this this morning as well. I was hoping to depend on
a "pom" module so I could then use the dependency
plugin's "copy-dependencies" or "unpack-dependencies" to grab all of them.
That didn't work. I changed the other projects type to "jar" which ends up
deploying an "empty" jar which works, but that makes that other jar get
copied/unpacked as well.

Pom packaging is typically used for
1) 'parent' poms (a list of modules, dependencyManagement, dependencies)
2) 'master' poms (organization level defaults, usually no modules)
3) overriding the default lifecycle by binding plugin executions
where you want them
(I'm probably missing something...)
Projects are usually split into modules and arranged in a hierarchy
with inherited dependencies. Or with <dependencyManagement> at the
top level to set the version numbers, and then dependencies declared
in the child poms.
It sounds like you either need the normal pom hierarchy so that your
dependencies will be inherited, or possibly some profiles if you're
trying to use different "sets" of dependencies.
Describe your project and I'm sure someone here can help.

Yes, that's the idea. Is it possible or I misunderstand the purpose of
projects with pom packaging?

The project that depends on pom artifact will be depending on all this pom's
dependencies. The pom dependency can be a replacement of a group of other
dependencies. I've tried this two years back and I guess this behavior
didn't change in maven 2.0.4

The default <type> is jar. You could try <type>pom</type> but I don't think
it's going to do what you want.
What are you trying to do? It sounds like you have a pom with <modules> and
you expect that declaring a dependency on that pom will add those modules as
dependencies.

The default <type> is jar. You could try <type>pom</type> but I don't

What are you trying to do? It sounds like you have a pom with
<modules> and you expect that declaring a dependency on that pom will
add those modules as dependencies.

Re: setting dependency to a project with pom packaging?
Posted by franz see <fr...@gmail.com>.
Good day to you, Victor,
Let me get this straight.
You have a project A which depends on projects B, C, D & E ( for example ).
However, you don't want to declare all those in project A's pom. Instead,
you want a way to declare them as project A's dependency as a group.
Thus you tried adding a dependency whose modules are projects B, C, D & E.
I am sorry but that will not work. Modules are not considered as
dependencies. The closest thing I can think of to support your needs is to
create another project whose dependencies are projects B, C, D & E. Then add
that project to project A. This would then make projects B, C, D & E the
dependencies of your project A.
Cheers,
Franz
