[jira] Commented: (MNG-2199) Version ranges not supported for parent artifacts

["Kenney Westerhof (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2199?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_99678 ] 

Kenney Westerhof commented on MNG-2199:
---------------------------------------

tempting to 'close - won't fix'.

Whatever parent pom is present in the local repo will be used, resulting in a different effective pom on different systems.
This'll be the cause of all sorts of problems.

> It would be great if Maven supports version ranges when specifying parent artifacts in a multi-module build. Currently this does not work.
