Sebastian Paul commented on MNG-3939:
-------------------------------------

I tried to reproduce this. First, I added <type>pom</type>, because Maven 
complained. Then I installed the dependency-pom. 
Checking with 'mvn help:effective-pom' shows that the parent contains the 
correct dependencyManagement and that the child contains the correct dependency 
to junit.
I think the issue can be closed.

> dependencyManagement does not inherit imported dependencies

> I've attached a zip that has two versions of the same multi-module project. 
> In the first version there is a parent-pom which defines a 
> dependencyManagement section with one dependency (junit 4.4). I child project 
> then inherits from the parent-pom and inherits the dependency management 
> section including the version number for junit. Then then child project can 
> have a dependency for junit and not care about the version number which is 
> managed by the dependencyManagement inherited from the parent.
> In the second version, the dependencyManagement of the parent has been moved 
> to a dependency-pom. This makes sense because the dependencyManagement 
> section for a multi-module project could get huge and it would be nice to 
> keep the parent-pom small and clean and just import dependencyManagement as 
> needed. The problem is that the child project does not inherit these imported 
> dependencies. It seems to me that imported dependencyManagement sections 
> should be inherited too. This is the error given when the child doesn't what 
> version of junit to use:
>     Project ID: maven.dependency.example:child
>     POM Location: C:\sandbox\eclipse\default\maven example\child\pom.xml
>     Validation Messages:
>         [0]  'dependencies.dependency.version' is missing for junit:junit
> This is somewhat related (maybe only tangentially) to the following issues:
>     http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3553
>     http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2314
>     http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3537
>     maybe more ...
> However, all those other issues seem to involve a more complex example than 
> this issue. This issue is just dependencyManagement, import and inheritance.
