I see what you are trying to do... but why? If you do not define a child
project's version, it automatically inherits from its parent. Just take
<version>${main.version}</version> out.

Hi,
I'm a bit frustrated on how Maven cycles through its
dependency. Currently
I have a project consisting of multiple sub projects—2 levels
deep. Here's
a hierarchy:
-->main
--> sub1
--> sub1sub1
--> sub1sub2
--> sub2
The main project has a POM looking like this:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.project.main</groupId>
<artifactId>main</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<name>Main Project</name>
<url>http://maven.apache.org</url>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<properties>
<main.version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</main.version>
</properties>
<modules>
<module>sub1</module>
<module>sub2</module>
</modules>
...
</project>
Now say my sub2 project looks like this:
<project>
<parent>
<artifactId>main</artifactId>
<groupId>com.project.main</groupId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.project.main.core</groupId>
<artifactId>main-core-api</artifactId>
<name>Main Core API</name>
<version>${main.version}</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
</project>
Sub project 1 and its repective subprojects are similar. Now, from my
root
project (main), I run any mvn command, I get the following error:
###################################
[INFO] Error building POM (may not be this project's POM).
Project ID: com.project.main.sub1.sub2:main-sub1-sub2:jar:${main.version}
Reason: Cannot find parent: com.project.main.sub1:main-sub1 for project:
com.project.main.sub1.sub2:main-sub1-sub2:jar:${main.version}
####################################
So I go to my sub2 project and run any mvn command, I get the same error.
Looks like its not able to figure out the runtime value of {main.version}.
Hence I can not continue with any build process. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
