Effective-pom and junit M2

[Andrew-A . Davies]

Title: Effective-pom and junit M2

Hi,

I have a multi project set-up in M2 - version 2.0.4. I have set up a pom containing things that I want to apply across all modules

(such as certain reports - PMD, Macker, Checkstyle, etc).

If I include a dependency management in there (e.g)

        <dependencyManagement>
                <dependencies>
                        <dependency>
                                <groupId>junit</groupId>
                                <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
                                <version>3.8.1</version>
                                <scope>test</scope>
                        </dependency>
                </dependencies>
        </dependencyManagement>

Why, at a module level do I get the error that Junit  packages cannot be found ?
I have referred to the other pom via the <parent> tag.
I have run the mvn help:effective-pom and I can see Junit is a dependency, but code can't seem to see it.

I have seen a bug reported in 2.0.2 of maven and some further discussion around it. Jira says it is fixed, but am I just seeing that it has been reintroduced ?

Thx
Andy
