Inherit dependencies problem

[Mikael Petterson]

Hi,

We have been using maven 2 ( 2.0.8 )for a while with love and hate :-)

And now we want to make our child pom.xml:s a bit cleaner in terms of
dependencies.

We have the following structure in Eclipse 3.3.0:

src
 |
 |---services
 |         |
 |         |-------alarm
 |                  |
 |                  |--------pom.xml (child)
 |
 |------pom.xml (master)


In my master POM I have the following:

<dependencyManagement>
                <dependencies>
                        <dependency>
                                <groupId>junit</groupId>
                                <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
                                <version>4.4</version>
                                <scope>test</scope>
                        </dependency>
                        <dependency>
                                <groupId>org.jmock</groupId>
                                <artifactId>jmock-junit4</artifactId>
                                <version>2.4.0</version>
                                <scope>test</scope>
                        </dependency>
                        <dependency>
                                <groupId>sailfin</groupId>
                                <artifactId>javaee</artifactId>
                                <version>0.22</version>
                                <scope>provided</scope>
                        </dependency>
</dependencyManagement>


<modules>
                
   <module>services/alarm</module>
                
</modules>


In my child POM I have the following:

       <parent>
                <groupId>com.mycompany.project</groupId>
                <artifactId>dtx</artifactId>
                <version>1</version>
                <relativePath>../../pom.xml</relativePath>
        </parent>

When I run 'mvn clean install' from the command line maven complains
that it cannot find the dependencies in my master pom.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong. By the way everything has been working
fine until I tried this.

cheers,
