Yea, I ran into this this morning as well.    I was hoping to depend on 
a "pom" module so I could then use the dependency 
plugin's "copy-dependencies" or "unpack-dependencies" to grab all of them.   
That didn't work.    I changed the other projects type to "jar" which ends up 
deploying an "empty" jar which works, but that makes that other jar get 
copied/unpacked as well.
