Maven project showing as pomUpdated instead of jar

Question

I am using Eclipse with m2e. I have one ProjectA that is built as a Maven project and is packaged as a Jar. When I add ProjectA as a dependency in ProjectB, it is showing up as packaging .pomUpdated instead of Jar. I am using the feature 'Resolve dependencies from Workspace projects'.

Any ideas? I've tried forcing updates/snapshots and a bunch of other things, but nothing has fixed the problem. I've had this work successfully before with other projects referencing ProjectA, but this time it's not working.

EDIT:

The issue turns out to be that ProjectA not building, but I can't figure out why. Apparently it is having trouble finding its parent project on my Nexus server, but I have it setup to find the parent using a relative path, which should mean it will find it locally, right? Why would it be looking at Nexus instead?

Failure to find com.foobar:MyProject:pom:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT in
http://myserver/nexus/content/groups/public was cached in the local 
repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of nexus has 
elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

EDIT 2:

I fixed the issue with ProjectA not building, but now I'm back to only seeing pomUpdated available for ProjectB to use... very frustrating!

Answer 1

The issue was with my Sonatype Nexus setup being incorrect.
