maven 2 fails to compile some projects (doesn't include any dependencies in classpath)

Description

Try to compile the trivial project attached (w/ possibly non-trivial dependencies).

Note: you may have to manually install some of the dependencies; pdf-box is probably the only one like that. But you removing it from pom doesn't appear to resolve the issue either, so you can probably just remove it.

Use maven-2-bug-cleaner.zip instead of maven-2-bug.zip to reproduce, because it is a bit cleaner, and actually prints stuff from log4j, if executed.

maven-2-bug-cleaner-with-pdfbox.zip is the same as maven-2-bug-cleaner.zip, but has a pdfbox dependency.

Your POM states

<dependency>
	<groupId>log4j</groupId>
	<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
	<version>1.2.12</version>
	<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

Note the <scope> element. You are effectively telling Maven that Log4J is only required for running (and testing) the project. However, you need it for compilation. So either change the affected dependencies to <scope>compile</scope> or simply remove the <scope> element.

Keep in mind that Eclipse has only one build path, i.e. does not distinguish between compile, runtime and test class path. As such, all dependencies end up on your Eclipse build path, obscuring the effect of a bad POM.

I was under mistaken assumption that runtime scope included compile scope. My bad. Closing...

Runtime scope doesn't include compile scope: bad pom, not a bug.
