The inheritance was what i expected (apart from that i don't like this kind of dependency definition in a pom which is packaging pom), but what me baffled are the comments about bootstrap ?

Hi,

i'm currently looking into the Maven code and stumbled over one thing which i 
don't understand at the moment is:

The root pom contains directly dependencies to junit 
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=maven.git;a=blob_plain;f=pom.xml;hb=HEAD

But it does not contain junit in dependencyManagement ?

There are some comments like this:

<!-- bootstrap-start-comment -->
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>${junitVersion}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<!-- bootstrap-end-comment -->
<build>

Is this for a particular reason ?

Does someone has an explanation for this?

Kind regards
Karl Heinz Marbaise
