Hi -
Let's do some debugging...

This step (above) should be unnecessary, but it's ok to do.

Nothing that I can see at the moment.
Here's some guesses:
1) Maybe you didn't build the parent-pom-top project in build?
2) Maybe your Maven .m2/settings.xml file isn't set up to refer to the Apache
maven snapshot repository?
(For # 2, I realize that the instructions for doing this are missing from the
one-time-setup - I'll fix that).
Your settings.xml file needs to have these entries to find the snapshots:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>apache-nexus-snapshot</id>
<url>https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots-group/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
You can avoid this if you have the parent-pom-top "mvn install"-ed into your
local repo, because it contains a ref to the Apache-wide common "POM", which
contains this repo info. But, I can see there's a "bootstrapping" issue here.
If you go the route of adding this to your settings file, I think it has to go
inside a <profile> element, something like this:
<profile>
<id>local-build-configuration</id>
<repositories>
... etc, insert above ...
</repositories>
</profile>
and then you need this to "activate" that profile, in your settings.xml:
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>local-build-configuration</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
Do either of these things help? If not, let's do some more debugging ...
