Aggregate POM for thirdparty package - dependencies not downloaded

[Jim Garrison]

I'm trying to create an aggregate POM for a third-party object
consisting of several binary (jar) files, to be stored in my
Nexus repository.

Based on examples from the maven repository, I created simple POMs for
each jar and added them to nexus. Then I created a POM-packaged POM that
lists the individual simple POMs as dependencies.  When I got to the
Upload Artifact screen I found that I had to provide an artifact file
name, so I ended up using the aggregate pom name in both the artifact
file and pom file fields (was this correct?)

When I try to build my project POM, which contains a reference to the
aggregate POM, there are no error messages but the transitive
dependencies are NOT downloaded from Nexus.  Browsing the repository
shows all the required jars in the right places.

Obviously I've missed something.  Can some kind soul take pity on a
Maven/Nexus newbie and help out?

Here are the pertinent files:

Simple POM for one of the jar file components (jviews-sdmgui.pom):

<project  xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0";>
        <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
        <groupId>com.ilog.jviews</groupId>
        <artifactId>sdmgui</artifactId>
        <version>5.5</version>
        <description>JViews sdmgui library</description>
</project>

Aggregate POM (jviews.pom):

<project  xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0";>
        <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
        <groupId>com.ilog</groupId>
        <artifactId>jviews</artifactId>
        <version>5.5</version>
        <description>JViews</description>
        <packaging>pom</packaging>
        <dependencies>
                <dependency>
                        <groupId>com.ilog.jviews</groupId>
                        <artifactId>jviewsall</artifactId>
                        <version>5.5</version>
                </dependency>
                <dependency>
                        <groupId>com.ilog.jviews</groupId>
                        <artifactId>sdmgui</artifactId>
                        <version>5.5</version>
                </dependency>
                <dependency>
                        <groupId>com.ilog.jviews</groupId>
                        <artifactId>svgdom</artifactId>
                        <version>5.5</version>
                </dependency>
        </dependencies>
</project>

Dependency specification in the project POM:

        <dependency>
                <groupId>com.ilog</groupId>
                <artifactId>jviews</artifactId>
                <version>5.5</version>
                <type>pom</type>
        </dependency>

If I include the three individual dependencies here instead of just the
reference to the aggregate, the build works.
