Re: Dealing with bad POMs?

[Xavier Hanin <xa...@gmail.com>]

checkconsistency is (slightly) documented here:

The consistency check disabled is the check that the module descriptor found
contains meta information consistent with the meta information of the
dependency descriptor which has lead to the module descriptor.
