surefire-providers-2.0.pom contains strange dependencies which generate error

This pom contains :
<dependency>
<groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>surefire-api</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
</dependency>

This generate strange error in certain case.
I have replaced with :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.surefire</groupId>
<artifactId>surefire-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
</dependency
And works fine.
The stack trace says
