If you edit a POM of an originally valid project to say <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>3.7</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> where you have no junit-3.7.jar locally but your index is complete, it will appear as a missing dep in the UI as expected, though you will get a warning in the console: [WARNING] Unable to get artifact junit:junit:jar:3.7 from repository central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2): no remote connections But if you set the version to 3.6 (there was never such a release), you get in console [WARNING] Unable to get artifact junit:junit:pom:3.6 from repository central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2): no remote connections (note attempt to download POM rather than JAR) and the dependency simply disappears. Regression I guess due to fix of bug #188970; need for offline embedder to nonetheless pretend to find missing POMs. Also related: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEVENIDE-634
