I have the following project package structure.

```
parent
|- module1
|- module2    
|- module3

```

I am able to include module3 as a dependency in both pom.xml files of module1 & module2. This gives me access to all of the dependencies & code from module3.

```
<dependency>
    <groupId>my.group</groupId>
    <artifactId>module3</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

```

However, when I run maven commands such as `dependency:tree` on the pom file of module1 or module2, maven will try to search on certain `<servers>` that are listed in my settings.xml file in order to try & download module3 as an artifact. module3 is not deployed to any `<server>` at the moment so, the maven command fails with following error

```
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project module1: Could not resolve dependencies for project my.group:module1:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at my.group:module3:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to read artifact descriptor for my.group:module3:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not transfer artifact my.group:module3:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT from/to MyServer (https://example): Access Denied to: .......etc.

```

Ideally, module3 would not be deployed at all as an artifact but, instead it might simply have `<packaging>pom</packaging>`. module3 is just some module that should only be used by module1 & module2. Also, FYI the dependency tree of module3 builds perfectly fine.
