Description pekarna 2011-12-23 09:26:08 UTC 
Let's have a Maven modules structure:

Module A
  Module B
  Module C     depends on B
    Module D

Now when trying to move class from D to B, NetBeans shows:

  There are references in project "D" to moved files, but source project "D" does not depend on target project "B". Projects need not compile.

Which is not true, classes from B are visible in D through dependency inherited from it;s parent (C).

Not sure I follow what this diagram means. Is C a POM project, and if so how can it "depend" on B? A ZIP of an actual test case would be much more useful.

Seems like the IDE is right to signal an error, just gets the wording backwards - the problem is that B does not depend on D, so any references from other classes in D might become broken by the move.

Tried to reproduce the problem, but works for me in 7.1.1.

Please attach a small test project with steps to reproduce.
