Thanks for your answer,
But somehow I disagree with you : a pom project might have to define
dependencies.
IMHO defining such a dependency (besides defining its version and scope
in the dependency management) is legitimate if all of the projects
having this pom as parent should have this dependency.
For example our parent pom which is the parent of all our other projects
defines Junit as a dependency because we know all of our prejects are
going to use Junit.
In my case all subprojects of A need D at least in scope test but some
of them (which depends on B) appears to 'also' need D in scope compile.

As project A is a parent it's a pom project, right? IMHO a pom project
should NEVER have a dependency. Remove that dependency and state that
test scope dependency where it actually is a dependency instead.
Project A could however have dependencyManagement declared for D
stating test as default scope (and version).

Hello,
I have a problem with my dependency pattern and I am not sure that maven
behaves correctly in this case.
Here is my case :
- I am using Maven 2.2.1.
- I have a project A which defines a dependency D with scope test.
- I have a project B whose parent is A and which defines D as a
dependency in scope compile.
- My project hierarchy defines a lot of projects whose parent is A and
who have B as a dependency.
My problem is : all these "subprojects" have D as dependency in scope test
(from A).
I think that the correct behaviour would be to have D with scope compile
(from their dependency on B) because scope compile 'contains' scope test.
But Maven 2.2.1 does not work that way :-).
Is there any way to force my projects to use the D scope from project B
instead of the one from its parent (project A) ?
Thanks in avance,
