The type org.alfresco.util.VersionNumber cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. mvn archetype:generate 
-DarchetypeCatalog=http://maven.alfresco.com/nexus/content/repositories/releases
/archetype-catalog.xml
2. chose AMP file
3. import into eclipse as existing maven project
4. quick-fix the issue with maven-nosnapshot-plugin / goal:strip with "execute: 
ignore"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Eclipse project should have no java errors.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
<groupId>com.sourcesense.alfresco</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-alfresco-amp-archetype</artifactId>
<version>3.9.0</version>
<description>Archetype for building Alfresco AMPs with Maven</description>
</archetype>

Please provide any additional information below.
I also find I couldn't use org.alfresco.service.namespace.QName (for example) 
because it doesn't exist

after I generated the project didn't compile in Eclipse, the DemoComponent 
extended org.alfresco.repo.module.AbstractModuleComponent

compile error:
The type org.alfresco.util.VersionNumber cannot be resolved. It is indirectly 
referenced from required .class files

This are now my dependency and the error above is gone...

I think that only one of this is needed for that error to go away but I didn't 
checked which one

The missing class org.alfresco.util.VersionNumber is part of the alfresco-core 
jar. So the missing dependency is:

                <dependency>
            <groupId>org.alfresco</groupId>
            <artifactId>alfresco-core</artifactId>
            <version>${alfresco.version}</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
            <classifier>community</classifier>
        </dependency>

i can verify that adding the alfresco-core dependency did cause eclipse to stop 
displaying the problem

Fixed on trunk by adding alfresco-core as provided dependency -
