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

["Stan Devitt (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4687?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=226812#action_226812 ] 

Stan Devitt commented on MNG-4687:
----------------------------------

In our standard project structure we have a large number of projects which inherit their plugin configuration from a single centralized parent - loaded from the repository.  Separately the projects have one or more aggregator poms which resides in the directory directly above.

In this setup, we cannot use <relativePath>,  but maven 3 beta complains because the aggregator it finds is not the parent.

It is actually important to separate the roles of parent and aggregator - but the current design confuses them.

> 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.
