We have a project A which depends on project B which depends on library C. A and B are local projects while C is a public library in maven central repo.
pom.xml for A:
<name>ProjA/name>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>com.abc</groupId>
<artifactId>ProjB</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
pom.xml for B:
<name>ProjB/name>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>C</artifactId>
<version>2.23.2</version>
</dependency>
When run mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose
in A, it does not resolve the dependencies of B and such dependencies used in B is not shown in A's Maven Dependencies as well. This is fine for compilation but will fail in runtime because of NoClassDefFound error.

Is there any way to let maven resolve transitive dependency for such local dependency as B?
