title: Dependency of Type "POM"
body: <p>I am trying to get an ESB system running using ServiceMix and ActiveMQ. But even before I get that far, I had a question about dependency types of POM. I got the maven dependency as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.servicemix/servicemix --&gt;
  &lt;dependency&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.servicemix&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;servicemix&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;version&gt;7.0.1&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;type&gt;pom&lt;/type&gt;
  &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now when I run "clean install" on the the project in which I included this dependency, I don't see any of the activeMQ jars being copied in the classpath or available for compilation (I have copy-dependency written, so I can see what jar files are included). In this case, do I still have to explicitly mention the activeMQ dependency in my pom file? Like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.activemq/activemq-core --&gt;
  &lt;dependency&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.activemq&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;activemq-core&lt;/artifactId&gt;
  &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any guidance would be appreciated. This ServiceMix is frustrating with the lack of documentation.</p>
