Thanks for the answer. I look at the blog article. In fact, we use mirror definition in settings.xml. This is the only way for B to grab A from our Nexus repository. The problem is that when A is not in our local repository, B is not able to grab A in nexus if A is a snapshot version. The mirror is defined for everything (<mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>) but it seems that it only search for release version and not for snapshots. Is it a wanted restriction or a bug ? I don't really understand Brett Porter's answer in http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-943, because if the "a single POM for the company that is the "root" that all projects inherit from" is a snapshot version, sub modules won't be able to find it.
