[jira] Created: (MNG-2026) Document how parent-child POM relationships, , and works

Document how parent-child POM relationships, <modules/>, and <parent><relativePath/> works
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MNG-2026
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2026
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: Task

  Components: Documentation:  General  
    Reporter: John Casey
     Fix For: documentation


Create a document that will describe how POMs can be related to one another in a multimodule build. Specifically, document:

* The parent-child relationship - how is this manifest in the POMs
* How does the <modules/> section work
* How does the <relativePath/> element of the <parent/> section work...and what is required in the <parent/> section?
* How to install ONLY the parent POM for a multimodule setup (mvn -N pom.xml at the top level)
* How to build an entire multimodule setup from one command (tie all of this together into a working example)

Related to this, but in another document, should be a list of things that are inherited (could be a link to somewhere else, if this documentation exists in other places). Also, the algorithm used to merge inherited and local POM sections should be in this other document.
