It is this goal in the dependency plugin, but in general when working
with multimodule builds, you should just do install. Other plugins can
have the same problems.

I don't need to use the install goal. Module B finds the Module A jar
when building from the parent.
How ever. If I further want to do something with Module A's jar in
Module B. Like extract it using dependency unpack.
I can't, unless I 1st run install goal from Module A. But this means
the
release plugin won't properly work from the parent pom unless I
release
Module A and B individually.
Here's what my project looks like:
-parent pom
| - Module A (produces Jar)
| - Module B (includes jar)
I'm wondering if this is just a limitation of the dependency
plugin.. :-/
I've been struggling with this for quite some time.
Thought? thanks!
