title: Netbeans: maven dependencies of type pom
body: <p>I've spent a lot of time and my head is blowing up already so I'll be very thankful for any help.</p>
  
  <p>I'm migrating Netbeans Platform application from ant to maven, and so I'm changing all the jars in my version control repo to maven dependencies. I've found needed artifact in main maven repo and I've added it as a dependency with a help of Netbeans, but it's of type <em>POM</em> and was placed in <code>Non-classpath Dependencies</code> and I have no idea how to use it as it wasn't added to classpath etc…</p>
  
  <p>Can someone explain what are these <em>POM</em> dependencies and how to use them?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance!!</p>
  
  <h2>EDIT</h2>
  
  <p>here is dependency definition in <code>pom.xml</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;dependency&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;com.kitfox.svg&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;svg-salamander&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;version&gt;1.0&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;type&gt;pom&lt;/type&gt;
  &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
