Description

Consider the following scenario:

<project>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>old.groupId.bom</groupId>
    <artifactId>my-artifactId-bom</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <packaging>pom</packaging>

    <distributionManagement>
        <relocation>
            <groupId>new.groupId.bom</groupId>
            <artifactId>my-artifactId-bom</artifactId>
            <version>2.0</version>
        </relocation>
    </distributionManagement>
</project>

<project>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <groupId>my.project.groupId</groupId>
    <artifactId>my-project</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <packaging>war</packaging>

    <dependencyManagement>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>old.groupId.bom</groupId>
                <artifactId>my-artifactId-bom</artifactId>
                <version>1.0</version>
                <type>pom</type>
                <scope>import</scope>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
    </dependencyManagement>

    ...

</project>

The expected result according to [1]:
During building the "my-project" it should print the WARNING with the information about the relocation and it should be automatically redirected from old.groupId.bom:my-artifactId-bom:1.0 to new.groupId.bom:my-artifactId-bom:2.0 and use dependencies from the new pom.

Actual results:
There is no WARNING and no redirection to the new pom and maven is trying to obtain dependencies from the old pom (old.groupId.bom:my-artifactId-bom:1.0).
Nevertheless, when the pom is declared as a "normal dependency" (not in the "dependencyManagement" part) it works without any problem - it prints the WARNING and redirects to the new pom, but this is not the case we are using.
