Here's the story.
For this release, we are planning to release uima (base), uima-as,
sandbox, and uima-cpp together as one release.
The parent POMs were re-arranged so that the uimaj pom is now the parent
of the sandboxDistr pom.
Parent POMs are found via 2 mechanims. One is looking them up using the
information in the <relative-path> element of the POM - and as you have
seen, that requires that the sandbox be located within the main uima
directory. (This perhaps unusual requirement comes from working with
Eclipse, which does not support hierarchical directories for projects).
But there is another way too - maven (if it doesn't find the POM using
the relative-path link) looks up the POM using the "maven coordinates"
in the various maven repositories, starting with your local .m2
repository.
So, all you have to do is build the uimaj POM and install it to your
local repository. (Note that after things are released, any user would
automatically get the parent POM downloaded from the release
repositories, assuming they had maven set up to find these repositories).
There is a "trick" to building the uimaj POM - if you just say "mvn
install" in the directory of the uimaj project, it will build, but it
will also build all of the base UIMA. If all you want to do is just
install the POM, without building all of UIMA, you can do that using the
-N parameter: type "mvn -N install". The -N parameter stops maven from
processing the submodules.
