The times you have to download a jar from a third party project that 
ISN'T uploaded onto the maven central server. Then you would need 
to install it.

We do this with our third party APIs, the pom is used to add some 
additional information such as license and where it was downloaded 
from.

As a sidenote, I noticed when testing with the 2.1-SNAPSHOT that 
it actually required a pom on the artifacts that it downloads and
uses as dependency. Thats when i had to setup a pom for all our 
third party libraries. I don't know if this is a bug, or if it is actually 
required in the 2.1 release tho.
