I've spent a lot of time and my head is blowing up already so I'll be very thankful for any help.
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 POM and was placed in Non-classpath Dependencies
and I have no idea how to use it as it wasn't added to classpath etc…
Can someone explain what are these POM dependencies and how to use them?
Thank you in advance!!
EDIT
here is dependency definition in pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.kitfox.svg</groupId>
<artifactId>svg-salamander</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
<type>pom</type>
line solves the issue?<type>pom</type>
the result was:Could not transfer artifact com.kitfox.svg:svg-salamander:jar:1.0 from/to junit_4 (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/): No connector available to access repository junit_4 (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/) of type test using the available factories WagonRepositoryConnectorFactory -> [Help 1]
