Description Matthew Piggott CLA 2011-01-25 14:03:50 EST 
If the version associated with a managed dependency is removed there is no error or warning.

If a child relies on the dependency then the child has a build error:
  "Project build error: 'dependencies.dependency.version' for 
  org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:jar is missing."

If the child overrides the dependency then we have a warning: 
  Overriding managed version null for httpclient

not sure I understand the problem. can you give steps to reproduce?

this could be related to https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE-2636 in the sense that our project loading might swallow the warning emitted by maven (if there is any)

Sorry, I think I had a description of the setup in another bug.

Create a project and a module, add a dependency into the module then manage a dependency in the project and remove the version element.  At this point there should be a build error in the module but no problems marked in the project.

Add a version to the dependency in the module, and a warning marker is added for overriding version null.

fixes the part of editor warning marker appearing for version null.

The missing marker for missing PM version is likely a consequence  of us reading the maven model with no validation.. in that sense this part is duplicate of #350466
