Dependency not retrieved with maven 3 although it was with maven 2
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MNG-4600
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4600
             Project: Maven 2 & 3
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Dependencies
    Affects Versions: 3.0-alpha-7
         Environment: Apache Maven 3.0-alpha-7 (r921173; 2010-03-09 
23:31:07+0100)
Java version: 1.5.0_17
Java home: c:\projet\MM\outils\jdk\1.5.0\jre
Default locale: fr_FR, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: "windows xp" version: "5.1" arch: "x86" Family: "windows"

The situation is quite complex to explain. I've a parent pom that defines 
dependencies in depMgmt. There's two projects in the multimodule project, the 
second depending on the first.

Excerpt (parent/depMgmt):
<dependency>
  <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
  <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
  <version>${logback.version}</version>
  <scope>runtime</scope>
<optional>true</optional>

First child (redefines scope only):
<dependency>
 <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
 <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
 <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

Second child:
<dependency>
 <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
 <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
 <groupId>m3pb</groupId>
 <artifactId>subproject1</artifactId>
 <version>${project.version}</version>
</dependency>

When running with maven 2, it works. When ran with maven 3, it fails on the 
second project, with a NoClassDefFoundError on the logback jar.

I seem to understand this is actually a bug in maven 2: as the depMgmt defines 
optional=true, it shouldn't have been working in maven2 without redeclaring the 
dependency in the second project. 

>From my understanding:
* With maven 2, the transivity is taken in account and gives logback through 
the subproject1 link (from the second)
* With maven 3, this just doesn't work and this is the correct behaviour.

Please excuse my basic analysis. 
I'm attaching a test project to let see more precisely the problem.

If you need any help, please let me know.

Cheers
