---------------------------------
This explains what that means:
https://robintegg.com/2019/01/20/why-does-spring-initializr-set-the-parent-pom-relativepath-to-empty.html
As does this: https://www.baeldung.com/maven-relativepath
All happened in this commit during initial nifi release:
https://github.com/apache/nifi/commit/a2f63c7c886495ccee52a448e7a9625ad65ad1f9#diff-d9daf395e85220dd6e54928b5d2cec7c7a2dbcd00c231b4128b92e57b52a314a
Seems like it is fine to be there. Mostly just an optimization to skip checking
locally first. But should not break anything having it though seeing some
build issues for this in another env.
