Jeff MAURY,
sorry for possible offtopic and a naive question too.
Maven points to the parent POM with help
<parent>
<groupId>org.group</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<relativePath>../parent-poms/pom.xml</relativePath>
</parent>
why not allow skip groupId, artifactId and version in case
relativePath is given? if relative path is valid and pom.xml is what we need,
why I should duplicate this values in many
subprojects? IMHO, this would radically reduce needs to modify poms on version
advancing.
my apologize if this problem is already discussed.
Cheers, Oleg
