I work in an application server environment in which I use bom to collect dependency information, for example:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.bom.eap</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-javaee-6.0-with-security</artifactId>
<version>${jboss.bom.version}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
However, this particular bom indicates the dependency as "compilation", which I want to cover with all my projects as "provided". However, when I try to override the area in the same folder from which I import the dependency, for example:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.picketlink</groupId>
<artifactId>picketlink-federation</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Maven complains that it cannot find the version, or if I use the version property specified in bom, the property cannot be found.
I am sure that this is a problem with import + overriding in the same pom, because I can perfectly undo scope in child projects. Is there a way to import and redefine a region in one pom?
