Brett, Based on your comment of MNG-624 on 11/6/05 7:56 pm, I'm either not using <relativePath> correctly, or can't/not supposed to at all.
So is there a way to do what I tried below, or must the parent POM be in the repo? Does MNG-740 have any merit? Are there doc/clarification notes on <relativePath> and I just missed it? -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Jensen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2005 8:08 AM To: 'Maven Users List' Subject: RE: [m2] <parent>'s <relativePath> Thanks Dan, My problem seems similar/same as your MNG-740. I too have the parent pom not in a dir directly above the other components, but in a dir at the same level as the other components. In MNG-740, "A" doesn't build for me without the listed step 1: install root POM. The <relativePath> setting seems to have no effect. I do not receive an error message that the parent was not found either. I'll add my use case to the comments. Thanks again Dan. -----Original Message----- From: dan tran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 05, 2005 11:52 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: [m2] <parent>'s <relativePath> Normally, maven looks for parent pom with this order immeditate parent directory local repo remote repo So the parent pom.xml in parent dir, must have the groupID and artifacID found in child pom But there is a bug that may be your problem too http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-740 -D On 11/5/05, Jeff Jensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > In <parent>, how does one use <relativePath>?
