Description

Spring Source seems to release POM which have no version. According to the Maven philosophy this means that they inherit their parent's version.

However, if I try
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=spring-ldap-core-1.3.0.RELEASE.jar -DpomFile=pom.xml

I get

[INFO] Scanning for projects...

This artifact might be in your project's POM, or it might have been included transitively during the resolution process. Here is the information we do have for this artifact:

o GroupID: org.springframework.ldap
o ArtifactID: spring-ldap-core
o Version: <<< MISSING >>>
o Type: pom

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

: The version cannot be empty.

The POM looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project
