dependencyManagement is used to specify what version to use *if* the artifact is specified as a dependency

dependencies specifies which artifacts are dependencies

You could add junit as a test <dependency> to your parent pom... that is a
dependency not dependencyManagement....

Might cause more problems than it fixes though!

thanks, so there is absolutely no way to rid every single pom.xml with
some
reference to junit for example?

I do not want this plugin section in every pom.xml in
every sub-module

              How do I do this to make it go?

Generally, you should configure plugins like this in the
<pluginManagement> section in the top parent, and then when you
declare the plugin in each child, it will inherit the configuration
from the parent.

So the parent has the "big configuration" section in pluginMgmt, and
the children just have:
<plugin>
 <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
 <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>

Of course, surefire is already declared in the super pom, so you
shouldn't even need to include that in the children. Check "mvn
help:effective-pom" in a child once you've added that configuration to
the top parent -- it should show up.
