Thanks John,
In this case I could use some help understanding. In every case, without
exception, when I add a "dependencies" section of a POM file whose
packaging is "pom," not once have I intended that POM files artifact to
be what is dependent on those items. In every case it's the children of
that POM file that I want to "include" those dependencies.
I cannot even envision a case where a dependency listed in a POM file
whose packaging is POM is actually a dependency on the building of the
POM artifact.
If possible some clarification would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
All POMs' dependencies needs to be validated regardless of its packaging.

It appears that the transitive dependency mechanism is not sensitive
to the packaging. This seems odd to me and is causing me an
incredible amount of grief. I have a parent pom that defines a
dependency. I intend this parent pom to be used almost like an
"include." For example:
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>mycompany.poms</groupId>
<artifactId>parentpom</artifactId>
<version>xxx</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
....
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>mycompany.lib</groupId>
<artifactId>utility</artifactId>
<version>xxx</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
....
