I have two projects A and B. Project A is dependent on B. Project B has compile time on project C which is deployed to a repository, repository1. The newest version, 2.0, of project C has since been relocated from oldGroupId to newGroupId. The relocation POMs are working correctly and Project B is able to be built successfully. Project A is not dependent on anything from repository1 it does not list that repository in its own <repositories/> section. When building project A, it tries to resolve the dependencies of B which includes C. However I am currently getting errors when it tries to resolve the C. Below is an example of this error occurring. As you can see the list of remote repositories does not display repository1 as one of the repositories that was checked despite the fact that Project B listed it in its POM.

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.

No versions are present in the repository for the artifact with a range [1,)
oldGroupId:projectC:jar:null

from the specified remote repositories:
central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2),
repo2 (http://repo.some-repo.com/repo)

If I change project B to not use a range but to instead depend on a non-relocated version of project C everything works fine and I do not get this issue at all. The other and more correct solution to this issue is to update project B to use the new groupIds however it forces me to release project B immediately since all older released versions of B are broken by using the old groupIds an this issue.
