Description

ProjectBuilder.build(File,ProjectBuildingRequest) returns null MavenProject instance for the following pom.xml even when using ModelBuildingRequest.VALIDATION_LEVEL_MINIMAL. Expected/desired behaviour is to return MavenProject instance populated with all good/resolved dependencies and information about all bad/missing dependencies in MavenExecutionResult.getExceptions and/or MavenExecutionResult.getDependencyResolutionResult.
