[jira] (MNG-4687) Maven should not warn about incorrect parent path when no relativePath is specified

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4687?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=307575#comment-307575 ] 

David M. Karr commented on MNG-4687:
------------------------------------

I just discovered this issue today, even though I had builds using this parent structure for a couple of weeks.  To Scott's point, I only noticed it today because I normally work with the individual projects checked out separately.  Today I tried building the entire set of projects from the tree, which is when I first noticed it.  Perhaps that's why you didn't notice it until then.

Another +1 for me.  Stan's point about separation of aggregation and parent is relevant.

> If a module pom uses a parent other than the one in the parent directory, maven logs a warning.  In some cases it is necessary that a module pom has an external parent pom, and there is no way to refer to this external pom in the relativePath.  If nothing is specified in the relativePath, Maven should not log the warning.
