Parent references of maven archetypes

[Manuri Amaya Perera <am...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Say, there is an archetype which has a parent. In order to create a project
from this archetype, do parent references need to be resolved?
I need to upload an archetype to maven central and my problem is whether I
have to upload the parents of that archetype also to maven central. I have
tested this in sonatype nexus staging and it seems like parents are not
required to be resolved.

Thank you.
