Hervé Boutemy reopened MNG-5821:
--------------------------------
reopening the issue
Arthur is right, maven-4.0.0.xsd in site is outdated: see
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/
{noformat} maven-4.0.0.xsd 2012-12-11 13:48{noformat}
current 3.3.3 documentation =
http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.3.3/maven-model/maven.html#class_parent
but xsd was put in the site in 2012, and seems to have been generated even
before
see https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/site/trunk/content/resources/xsd/
I'll move this issue to MNGSITE (since this is a site issue) and update the xsd
with a recently generated one, taken from current source HEAD
(and in fact, perhaps we should publish the xsd sometimes, since we don't
update elements but we update documentation/comments in it)
> Documentation of the element parent.relativePath wrong in XSD

> 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 be wrong or outdated.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?
