For example, I add dependencies that I want to ignore to d/maven.ignoreRules. The package builds fine. But say there's a dummy root POM and I don't want to have a "dummy-build-only" directory added to the final package. So I add a --ignore for that POM (also tried --ignore-pom) but then I get complaints that required dependencies are not present. Specifically, the dependencies for the ignored POM that I have listed in the ignoreRules. It almost seems that if I --ignore a POM then the ignore-Rules for that POM are ignored as well, but the package build still tries to find those dependencies. Does that make sense? -Olek
