Description

Say we have a maven project with following module structure:

mainproject (packaging: pom)
module 1 (packaging: jar)
module 2 (packaging: pom)
module 2.1 (packing: jar, depends on module 1)
module 2.2 (packagin: jar, depends on module 2.1)
module 3 (packaging: pom)
module 3.1 (packaing: jar, depends on module 1)
module 3.2 (packaging: jar, depends on module 2.2)

If using command line one issues "mvn clean package" on a main project a build error gets reported that while building module 3.1 maven "failed to resolve artifact", reporting module 1 as missing. If using command line one issues "mvn clean install", again on a main project, a similar build error gets reported but now while building module 3.2 maven failed to resolve artifact, reporting as missing module 3.1 and module 2.2.
Before issuing either of the commands I've cleaned up local repository from all of these modules artifacts, expecting that maven will resolve dependencies between modules while building them without using local or remote repositories.
