I'm looking at providing the capability for transitive dependencies in Maven which would (in my eyes) rely on the pom files being installed in the poms directory in the local repository. I've noticed that only ejb, ear and war projects install the poms to the local repository. Is there a reason for standard jar deployments not installing the pom? Also, I've notiiced that the poms that are installed in the local repo are not interpolated. My solution would rely on the installed poms having been interpolated already. I don't think that the current build should need to interpolate a project for a dependency if it has no guarantee of having the right context. Am on the right path or not? Give me a shout before I go too far with incorrect assumptions :)
