I agree with David.

As it stands now (Maven 3.0), it's pretty annoying and unnecessary. The Parent POM coordinates are only used in repositories, but not in project *builds*. Please distinguish those two use cases.

>             Project: Maven 2 & 3
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-1

> Use the following in child pom.xml
>   <parent>
>     <relativePath>../pom.xml</relativePath>
>   </parent>  
> Got error: 
> [INFO] Reason: Missing groupId element from parent element
> Why do we need groupId, artifactId, and version? These data are already contained in ../pom.xml.  It should work the same as Maven 1.0 <extends>.
