Adding it to resolve doesn't actually do anything since it will already
be resolved. Can you provide an example of what you expect the output to
look like?

If they are not dependencies of the project, then what are they?  They
do have 
some relation to the project because they are needed in order to build,
so I'm 
just wondering where they fit in.  Would it be reasonable to add a
parameter to 
the dependency plugin's resolve and tree goals to also include the
parent poms?
