Description

When using the dependencyManagement section of a pom of type "pom" to create a bill of materials, it's currently possible to specify an invalid version. eg:

	<dependencyManagement>
		<dependencies>
			<dependency>
				<groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
				<artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
				<version>9.9</version>
			</dependency>
		</dependencies>
	</dependencyManagement>

It would be really useful for these types of pom's to be able to force all the dependencies to be resolved when running something like "install" and have that fail the build.
