Brian Fox closed MDEP-244.
--------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
The deploy and install plugins use this for goals that are meant to take some
random project and install or deploy it, like 3rd party jars. Maven core uses
the -f parameter to allow you to specify an alternate pom, this is what you
want. The dependency plugin does not read the pom file directly so there's
nothing to be done here.
> Maven 2 Dependency plugin should support the -DpomFile attribute so that it
> can support other filenames than pom.xml like the main plugins can

> Key: MDEP-244
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-244
> Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: copy-dependencies
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Reporter: David Boden
> Assignee: Brian Fox
>
> To use copy-dependencies, the pom file currently has to be called pom.xml.
> The main plugins like install and deploy support a "pomFile" parameter so
> that you can specify the pom file on the command line. It would be good if
> the Dependency plugin goals did the same.
