Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on MNG-5821:
------------------------------------------
Can you describe how you realized that Maven is looking not within the reactor
first? Do you have a test project for that?
> Documentation of the element parent.relativePath wrong in XSD
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-5821
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5821
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Documentation
> Reporter: Arthur Bauer
> Fix For: waiting-for-feedback
>
>
> The documentation of the element parent.relativePath in the XSD file seems to
> be wrong or outdated. It says:
> "Maven looks for the parent pom first in the reactor of currently building
> projects, then in this location on the filesystem, then the local repository,
> and lastly in the remote repo."
> (Source: http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd)
> But the actual documentation of maven says
> "Maven looks for the parent POM first in this location on the filesystem,
> then the local repository, and lastly in the remote repo."
> (Source:
> http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.3/maven-model/apidocs/org/apache/maven/model/Parent.html#getRelativePath%28%29)
> I have tested it on my local and I have seen the behavior as described in the
> second source, i.e. maven does not look for the parent pom in the reactor of
> currently building projects first.
> So this is pretty misleading. It is even more true for us, as we are reading
> the documentation directly from eclipse, which loads it from the XSD file.
> Could you please correct the XSD documentation?
