No, dependencyManagement is a place where you can define which versions you want to use for a bunch of dependencies, without actually decalring them as dependencies. It works something like this: "if this pom or any child pom want to use dependency A, make sure that they all use version X" > BTW, why is it rat-maven-plugin and not maven-rat-plugin like most of > the others seem to be? [The only other one I've seen with > maven-middle-position is jdepend] All the plugins at the mojo project [1] at Codehaus use this naming convention to distinguish them from the official Maven plugins provided by the ASF. rat-maven-plugin is a Codehaus plugin but maven-site-plugin is an ASF plugin.
