Thanks, this worked. For anyone else who may have a problem similar to this, here ( https://stackoverflow.com/a/37068864/8236733) is a bit of info on what is going on with maven here. The main info in the SO post is...
> > In order to resolve the parent project, these possible sources are checked: > - relativePath - local repository - remote repositories > The relative path, if not given explicitly, defaults to `..`, i.e. the pom > in the parent directory of the current project. So Maven checks whether a) > there is a pom file in that directory and b) that pom file contains the > same coordinates as stated in the parent definition of the current project. > If a) and b) are true, that pom file is used as the parent for the > resolving of the effective pom. > If a) is true, and b) is false, a warning is given, because this usually > points to a misconfigured project (as in your case) adn the pom is ignored. > If a) is false, the other sources are checked. > Furthermore, for people having install/build issues, you may also encounter an error message talking about missing dependencies, eg. .... > [INFO] Apache Atlas Distribution 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT ........... SKIPPED [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 49:02 min [INFO] Finished at: 2018-04-07T13:57:10-10:00 [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] Failed to execute goal > org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-failsafe-plugin:2.18.1:verify (verify) on > project atlas-webapp: There are test failures. .... For such an issue, this SO post ( https://stackoverflow.com/a/13173440/8236733) was also helpful. Basically, just try running "mvn dependency::tree" before running mvn clean -DskipTests install.
