Hello fellow Maven users, At $work a problem occurs with evaluation the ${project.parent.version} from a child pom.
The product structure in question: Product A: /pom.xml <= productA-parent (version 10.2.4-SNAPSHOT) /submodule1/pom.xml <= productA-sub1 => submodule1 uses productA-parent as parent => submodule1 contains submodule2 in its modules section => <module>../submodule2</module> /submodule2/pom.xml <= productA-sub2 => submodule2 uses submodule1 as parent with relativePath ../submodule1/ Submodule2 has a dependency which is activated in a profile which refers to submodule1: <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.work.productA</groupId> <artifactId>productA-submodule1</artifactId> <version>${project.parent.version}</version> <= this property is incorrectly evaluated <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement> <dependency> <groupId>com.example.productA</groupId> <artifactId>productA-submodule1</artifactId> <version>${project.parent.version}</version> <= this property is incorrectly evaluated <type>pom</type> </dependency> Product B: /pom.xml <= productB-parent (version 0.0.6-SNAPSHOT) => this uses the productA-sub2 as its parent /submodule1/pom.xml <= productB-sub1 => this uses the productB-parent as its parent. The problem I am facing is that I expect that productB-sub1 is able to use productA-sub2 as parent. Because productA-sub2 contains a dependency to productA-sub1 I expect that dependency will be evaluated correctly. However, it is not and the ${project.parent.version} in productA-sub2 is evaluated to the version of productB-parent. The extensive error message: ================================ [ERROR] Non-resolvable import POM: Failure to find com.work.productA-sub1:pom:0.0.6-SNAPSHOT in <company repo> was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of <company repo> has elapsed or updates are forced @ productA-sub2:[unknown-version], /home/user/.m2/repository/com/work/productA-sub2/10.2.4-SNAPSHOT/productA-sub2-10.2.4-SNAPSHOT.pom, line 231, column 19 -> [Help 2] ================================ It seems that project.parent.version is evaluated to the version of productB-parent (0.0.6-SNAPSHOT) instead of the version of productA-parent (10.2.4-SNAPSHOT). How can I ensure that the project.parent.version property resolves to the correct value (productA version => 10.2.4-SNAPSHOT) instead of the productB-parent version (0.0.6-SNAPSHOT) ? Hope someone can help me out.
