title: Maven DependencyManagement not working
body: <p>I'm trying to use Maven's DependencyManagement feature to management my project dependencies across my sub projects.</p>
  
  <p>My project structure is as follows:</p>
  
  <p>ProjectA - packaging (pom)
   - Sub Project A - packaging (war)</p>
  
  <p>Project A's pom file has the following </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;dependencyManagement&gt;
      &lt;dependencies&gt;
          &lt;dependency&gt;
              &lt;groupId&gt;org.liquibase&lt;/groupId&gt;
              &lt;artifactId&gt;liquibase-core&lt;/artifactId&gt;
              &lt;version&gt;${liquibase.version}&lt;/version&gt;
          &lt;/dependency&gt;
      &lt;/dependencies&gt;
  &lt;/dependencyManagement&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And my sub pom has the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;dependencies&gt;
      &lt;dependency&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;org.liquibase&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;liquibase-core&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;/dependency&gt;
  &lt;/dependencies&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the dependency isn't getting pulled in when I do this. If i change the parent pom and remove the dependency management tags, then the dependency gets pulled in fine.</p>
  
  <p>The sub project pom has the parent setup, so it can 'see' the parent pom file.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas what's causing this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
