-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Valid Archetype projects  can generate broken projects with inheritanc cycle  
                 Key: ARCHETYPE-552
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-552
             Project: Maven Archetype
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.0.1
            Reporter: Scott MacDonald
         Attachments: maven-archetype-parent-cycle-bug.zip

When developing a multi module archetype with a root level aggregator pom which inherits from a sibling parent within the project,  the archetype generated project will incorrectly add the aggregator pom as a parent to the sibling parent pom file, causing an inheritance cycle in the generated project.

Attached is a zip file containing a minimal archetype project that demonstrates the behavior.

After running mvn install,   you can inspect target/test-classes/projects/it-basic/project/example-project/example-project-parent/pom.xml  and see that the generated project incorrectly adds the top-level aggregate pom  as a parent in the to the parent pom causing an inheritance cycle, ven tough such a parent designation is not specified in the archetype resources)

 

The exact element that is incorrectly added to target/test-classes/projects/it-basic/project/example-project/example-project-parent/pom.xml is below..

    <parent>
    <artifactId>example-project-aggregator</artifactId>
    <groupId>com.foo</groupId>
    <version>0.0.0</version>
  </parent>

 

After the failure, removing the  incorrect parent pom element from the  target/test-classes/projects/it-basic/project/example-project/example-project-parent/pom.xml results in a working  maven project.
