propagate the type attribute of a pom up to the dependency when dependency 
doesn't specify it
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MNG-871
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-871
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: Bug
  Components: maven-core  
 Reporter: Adam Hardy


Using maven-ear-plugin, I have two dependencies in my project and I left out 
the types when I declared the dependencies. 

maven-ear-plugin generated an application.xml descriptor for the EAR file, but 
left out the module declarations which it should have generated for the EJB 
dependencies, because the dependency types defaulted to JAR.

The dependencies are not updated to reflect the type of the pom associated with 
it, and hence type has to be specified, yet it is possible to leave it out. 

However, since the type information is available in the pom, it would be very 
convenient if m2 just propagated that back to the dependency.
