I was just reading the source code for the [Versions Maven Plugin]( http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/), and noticed this snippet of code:
if ( reactorProjects.contains( getProject().getParent() ) ) { getLog().info( "Project's parent is part of the reactor" ); return; } When would the reactor not contain the parent module/project? Best regards, Behrang http://www.behrang.org
