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