   > > Thanks for pointing me at that. I think I need to take a serious editing 
pass across that. I also see some mismatches in the API, but I need to think a 
little more deeply about that. I don't think this PR needs to wait for any of 
that to happen though.

   > Sure. Be aware that the dependency in the page I pointed at is the 
_resolver concept_, not the _POM concept_. The _dependency_ described here is 
more linked to the _dependency coordinates_. So don't think the terminology is 
wrong, it just cannot be mapped directly to the resolver API which is more 
complex.
   
   Fwiw, I think this page will have to be adjusted to a more fine grained 
terminology.  People do refer to "my project dependencies", or "this artifact 
dependencies" and actually refer to the transitive artifacts which are 
dependencies of a given artifact / project.  In the POM, you have (potentially 
incomplete) pointers to dependencies, and those are _dependency coordinates_, 
which will be turned into actual _dependencies_, once the resolver has 
_collected_ them (_resolution_ is the process of actually _downloading_ the 
artifacts).
