This is correct. Unless you are running "mvn compile" from the top parent/aggregation pom. > Is there any way to define dependencies among sibling projects like this > (that are part of the same aggregation group) so that they do not need to be > individually installed (preferably not installed at all) and Maven can > auto-detect dependencies and properly build/rebuild? Yes, if you run compile from the top parent. > Also, during development, I do not update the version tag during every > single build/debug cycle.

In the Maven world (and its a good policy in general), there is only ONE true artifact for a given groupId/artifactId/version (GAV) combination.
