could not resolve the parent pom - Maven3

[Pradeep Fernando <pr...@gmail.com>]

Hi folks,

Environment: Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 23:01:09+0530) / Linux

My project structure is similar to,

Carbon-Parent.pom
        \____ orbit-bundles.pom (this has several modules)
        \____ service-stubs.pom (this has several modules)


* modules in Both projects orbit-bundles and service-stubs have
Carbon-Parent.pom as the root pom. I have set the <relativePath> of the
parent pom in each of the sub-projects. So that a module located in orbit
refers orbit-bundles.pom as the parent pom and that in turn refers
carbon-parent.pom as its parent.

* modules in service-stubs has maven dependency to some modules under
orbit-bundles.

The build works fine with Maven3 one i build my project from the root pom
(Carbon-Parent.pom). But when i try to build sub-projects one by one (that
is orbit sub project and service-stub sub project), It fails with following
error.

[ERROR]     Non-resolvable parent POM for
org.wso2.carbon:service-stubs:3.2.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact
org.wso2.carbon:carbon-platform:pom:3.2.0-SNAPSHOT @

ubs:3.2.0-SNAPSHOT, C:\Users\Samisa
Abeysinghe\.m2\repository\org\wso2\carbon\service-stubs\3.2.0-SNAPSHOT\service-stubs-3.2.0-SNAPSHOT.pom,
line 20, column 13 -> [Help 2]



Sorry for the confusing jargon. I could not explain the scenario with
Project A and Project B, etc.


Both the above scenarios works with Maven2. This is just happens when im
using maven3.


Thanks,
