It's not that the POM is missing, it's that there's no JAR which corresponds to the POM. This is less often a case of broken deployment (though that does happen) and more usually where a large project with complicated dependencies tries to simplify their deployment by building a "super-package" which depends upon everything below it. In short, it's a package which exists solely for the purpose of transitive dependencies. In my test case, the super-package is ``databinder-parent``. I don't remember what the artifact name is for the Hibernate super-package.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your notes in the troubleshooting doc, but it looks like that just fixes the problems with missing POM. Is there any way to work around the non-JAR?
