title: The POM for <name> is invalid, transitive dependencies (if any) will not be available
body: <p><strong>This question is outdated and no longer relevant. I have since moved to Gradle for my project build and can no longer verify that answers do or do not work.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I've run into a few issues with Maven. Let me first describe my project setup:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Framework
  |  -- Apache Commons Math 3.0
  |  -- Bouncy Castle 1.5
  |  -- etc.. (lots more)
  |________
  |        Client
  |        | -- GUI libraries
  |        | -- etc.
  |
  |________
           Server
           | -- Server Libraries
           | -- etc.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So essentially I have a framework that contains most dependancies and then two projects, "Server" and "Client" that contain their own BUT also the framework as a dependancy (being a module of Framework.). I installed the Framework project into my local repository and both my projects can see the Framework-Native code (aka my own logic). HOWEVER they don't seem to be able to use any of the dependancies of the Framework Project. When trying to build either of the "child"-projects I get this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Invalid POM for de.r2soft.empires.framework:Framework:jar:Alpha-1.2, 
  transitive dependencies (if any) will not be available, 
  enable debug logging for more details 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried to find the reason behind this (or better yet a solution) but haven't found anything that fixed my issues. Hope someone here can help. My maven version seems to be 3.2.1 (that's what -version tells me anyways)</p>
  
  <p>Here are my framework-pom.xml and the client-pom.xml on pastebin:</p>
  
  <p>Framework: <a href="http://pastebin.com/cceZECaT">http://pastebin.com/cceZECaT</a></p>
  
  <p>Client: <a href="http://pastebin.com/1Cuxve5F">http://pastebin.com/1Cuxve5F</a></p>
  
  <p>Help is appreciated.</p>
