Description Matthew Piggott 2011-02-08 11:44:49 EST

If a dependency in the dependencyManagement section of the pom uses a missing property for a version then the pom is marked as 'Project Read Error' (Exception below).   If the cause of the error is fixed the editor must be re-opened before incomplete pages are populated.  (In this case, Dependency Hierarchy)
