title: How to get a Maven dependency to propagate from parent pom to sub-module?
body: <p>I have a Maven multi-module project.  I want to define dependencies in the parent pom , (type pom, not jar)</p>
  <p>and have sub-modules have the dependency in scope for the code I write.  No matter what I do, I cannot get this to work.</p>
  <p>Simply putting the dependency in the parent pom does not seem to work, I have to put it yet again in each sub-module.</p>
