tbouron commented on issue #160: add relativePath to parent for release make URL: https://github.com/apache/brooklyn-ui/pull/160#issuecomment-567955148 @ahgittin In normal circonstances, it is not needed because as you said, maven is able to fetch the parent pom by the version. However, when you do change the version when say, you do a release, then the new version (e.g `1.0.0` instead of `1.0.0-SNAPSHOT`) doesn't exist. Maven tries to download it from repositories but canot find it and therefore fails. Whereas if you do have the `<relativePath>` set up, maven falls back to use this during the build, which passes.
