Arthur Bauer updated MNG-5821:
------------------------------
Description:
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be wrong or outdated.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 misleading 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?
