Brett Porter closed MNG-2896.
-----------------------------

       Resolution: Won't Fix
    Fix Version/s:     (was: Reviewed Pending Version Assignment)

Maven's inheritance model means that interpolation occurs after inheritance, so it is not set at this stage of the project processing.

You can use <relativePath> for the parent to be located in the right location.

> Everything works fine but the parent resolution: my main pom.xml has a parent and it is not looked up in this repository.
> Well, it is lookedup, but ${basedir} is not expanded and this way the lookup does not work.
> If I replace the ${basedir} with my full path everything works fine, but I cannot obviously do that as the local repository is part of the svn tree (by our choice to not use remote repositories).
> Furthermore: is there a variable to be used instead of ${basedir} that always reference to its own pom.xml folder? I ask this because I have multiple modules inside this project and I had to add another repository to this pom using file://${basedir}/../stage (notice the ..) so that submodules will use the same repository for the lookups, but this sound like an hack.
