---------------------------------
Summary: mvn help:effective-pom leaves <parent> pom in place
Key: MPH-175
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPH-175
Project: Maven Help Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: effective-pom
Affects Versions: 3.2.0
Environment: MacOS
Reporter: Georg Lippold
When executing mvn help:effective-pom, the <parent> XML node is left intact.
The <parent> should be removed in the effective POM.
If you generate the effective pom to modify the project, e.g. to remove or
override settings that are present in the parent pom, then including the
<parent> node in the resulting XML re-introduces the settings that you wanted
to modify.
Example: <parent> specifies a setting, e.g.
<project>
<properties>
<format>HTML</format>
</properties>
</project>
If the <format> node is now removed from the effective POM, then it is
re-introduced by including the <parent> in every maven run. The parent POM
should not be required anymore in an effective POM, because all its settings
should already be included in the effective POM.
