title: Package does not exist error when building with Maven
body: <p>I'm trying to build a pom.xml for a project I'm forking. The original project uses a pom hierarchy I can't use, so I need to write a new pom.xml.</p>
  
  <p>Now, I get an annoying package xxx does not exist, for example for org.apache.commons.logging, but in my pomxml, I get the dependency:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;dependencyManagement&gt;
    &lt;dependencies&gt;
      ...
      &lt;dependency&gt;
        &lt;groupId&gt;commons-logging&lt;/groupId&gt;
        &lt;artifactId&gt;commons-logging&lt;/artifactId&gt;
        &lt;version&gt;1.1.1&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;/dependency&gt;
      ...
    &lt;dependencies&gt;
  &lt;dependencyManagement&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Obviously, Maven is failing on imports like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My pom.xml has not any parent. I'm using Maven 2 with Java 5. any clue?</p>
