title: What is the difference between "pom" type dependency with scope "import" and without "import"?
body: <p>Starting from Maven 2.0.9 there is possibility to include </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;type&gt;pom&lt;/type&gt;
  &lt;scope&gt;import&lt;/scope&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in the <code>&lt;dependencyManagement&gt;</code> section.</p>
  
  <p>As I understand it, it will be "replaced" with dependencies included in this pom as if they were originally defined here.</p>
  
  <p>What is the difference between solution above and simple dependency to this pom without <code>import</code> scope (I saw the latter being called "dependencies grouping")? Is the only difference that such "grouped" dependencies have lower priority while resolving dependencies precedence?</p>
