             Summary: Can not unpack dependencies from identified dependent POM without specifying version
                 Key: MDEP-423
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-423
             Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: unpack
    Affects Versions: 2.8
            Reporter: Eric Miles


Even if the dependency from the included POM is in the dependency tree, I can not unpack it unless I specify the version...which defeats the purpose of an aggregator POM.

aggregator-pom.xml
{noformat}
...
<groupId>mycompany.com</groupId>
<artifactId>aggregator-pom</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
...
<dependency>
    <groupId>somegroup</groupId>
    <artifactId>someartifact</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.3</version>
</dependency>
...
{noformat}

pom-to-do-unpacking.xml
{noformat}
...
<dependency>
    <groupId>mycompany.com</groupId>
    <artifactId>aggregator-pom</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <packaging>pom</packaging>
</dependency>
...
