Dependency to a pom file

["Behrens, Andrey" <An...@external.t-mobile.de>]

Hello,

Can I use a parent artifact as a reference in a project pom?

For example a cut out from a test pom.xml:

	<dependency>
		<groupId>de.tmobile.cabu</groupId>
		<artifactId>fom</artifactId>
		<version>7.1</version>
	</dependency>

"fom" is a parent artifact with a list of modules in its pom.xml. But 
it seems that this wont work. It seems that maven expects a jar 
artifact.

If I do something like that

	<dependency>
		<groupId>de.tmobile.cabu</groupId>
		<artifactId>fom-module1</artifactId>
		<version>7.1</version>
	</dependency>

does it work. Is that behaviour correct or is there somewhere a bug?

Kindly Regards




Andrey

Try setting the type to pom, i.e.

	<dependency>
		<groupId>de.tmobile.cabu</groupId>
		<artifactId>fom</artifactId>
		<version>7.1</version>
            <type>pom</type>
	</dependency>

This seems to work fine for me.

Cheers,

Gerald
