What maven commands did you issue to test this? I used the attached project and here's the results. 1) extract zip 2) mvn dependency:tree failed due to dependency resolution 3) mvn clean install 4) mvn dependency:tree see the tree output
I think you're misunderstanding how the local maven repo is used and the affect reactor builds and plugins that are reactor aware vs not. AFAIK the dependency:tree goal is not reactor aware. It needs to resolve artifacts from the local repo (or download from remote repos if not present locally). Since you haven't mvn installed these into your local repo the tree goal states that the artifact is missing. The compile goal is reactor aware, and hence if you invoke mvn compile it determines the correct order in your multi-module build in order for mod_b to resolve the reference to mod_a. To test this reverse the order of the module definitions in the root pom and see that the reactor summary builds mod_a first despite the modules list having mod_b first. If you want to simulate what dependency:tree does using the compile goal, just try to compile mod_b on it's own, in it's own sub module (e.g. c:\maven-repro1\mod_b> mvn compile ), you'll get the same error about not being able to resolve dependencies. Hope that helps.

Brian -- Thanks for your help so far. I did put together a very small sample project that will repro what I'm seeing (attached as a zip). Just run 'mvn dependency:tree' in the root of the project and see if you get the same error (mod_a is not found, required by mod_b). It does compile fine. I'll be interested to see if you get the same results, or have some insights. It's totally likely that I'm not setting my poms up correctly.
