             Summary: mvn help:effective-pom leaves <parent> pom in place
                 Key: MPH-175
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPH-175
             Project: Maven Help Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: effective-pom
    Affects Versions: 3.2.0
         Environment: MacOS
            Reporter: Georg Lippold


When executing mvn help:effective-pom, the <parent> XML node is left intact. The <parent> should be removed in the effective POM.

If you generate the effective pom to modify the project, e.g. to remove or override settings that are present in the parent pom, then including the <parent> node in the resulting XML re-introduces the settings that you wanted to modify.

Example: <parent> specifies a setting, e.g.

<project>

<properties>

<format>HTML</format>

</properties>

</project>

If the <format> node is now removed from the effective POM, then it is re-introduced by including the <parent> in every maven run. The parent POM should not be required anymore in an effective POM, because all its settings should already be included in the effective POM.
