dependency:copy-dependencies and parent projects

[Keith Bonawitz <bo...@naviasystems.com>]

Is there any way for dependency:copy-dependencies and
dependency:unpack-dependencies to consider parents (and all ancestors)
as dependencies?

Alternately, is there a way to automatically/implicitly add the parent
the parent as a dependency?  I tried adding:
	<dependencies>
		...
		<dependency>
			<groupId>${project.parent.groupId}</groupId>
			<artifactId>${project.parent.artifactId}</artifactId>
			<version>${project.parent.version}</version>
			<scope>compile</scope>
			<type>pom</type>
		</dependency>
	</dependencies>

To a common ancestor pom for my organization's projects, but this
resulted in errors:
'dependencies.dependency.artifactId' with value
'${project.parent.artifactId}' does not match a valid id pattern.
'dependencies.dependency.groupId' with value
'${project.parent.groupId}' does not match a valid id pattern.

Thanks so much to this community for all the help the last couple days,
Keith

Currently, no. Adding the parents as dependencies though is a little
scary because it could cause some recursion in transitive dep
resolution. You can however use dependency:copy or unpack and list them
in the artifactItems list to do what you want.
