Alpha 7 requires parent pom of artifact referenced for compilation
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4593
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4593
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.0-alpha-7
Reporter: Marc Wirth
While evaluating the latest alpha release for our environment we found that
alpha-7 suddenly requires the availability of the parent pom of an artifact.
The pom in question references an artifact as normal dependency without
explicit scope (plain GAV). The pom of that artifact references a parent that
really does not exist in any repository. With alpha-7 the build fails
complaining about that parent. With alpha-6 the build works fine.
Looking at the changes for alpha-7 I don't see any indication that this was
intentionally done, so I rather consider this to be a bug. (Increases number of
lookups required and I don't see any necessity for the availability of the
parent, but maybe I'm missing something here).
