[WARNING] Unable to load parent project from repository: Could not find the model file....

Hi
four our company I want to set up a parent pom that defines default 
versions for plugins (pluginManagement), repository locations and so on.

The idea is that I make new releases of this project ever so often. 
Other people should be able to use this pom in their project by 
including the following in their top level pom:

<parent>
   <groupId>com.company</groupId>
   <artifactId>root-pom</artifactId>
   <version>7</version>
</parent>


When I try to put this all together I get the following warning in a 
project that references my root-pom module:

[INFO] [site:attach-descriptor]
[WARNING] Unable to load parent project from repository: Could not find 
the model file 'D:\checkout\some-app\..\pom.xml'. for project unknown

I read about the relativePath tag but I don't want the people to 
actually checkout the root-pom.

Am I using the parent tag for the wrong thing or have I misconfigured 
something?

Cheers, michael

Hi Ivo
thanks for your answer. I was just going to file a bug report when I 
read the changelog [1] of the AbstractSiteMojo. And guess what... The 
latest entry says: "Fix confusing logs. Often, it's not a problem if the 
parent pom isn't found with a relative path but in the repository."

So, I guess my problem was solved by replacing 'getLog().warn(...)' with 
'getLog().info(...)' :-)

Cheers, michael

I ran into the same issue. It seems that Maven works using this setup but it
will keep complaining that it can not find the pom file itself. From the
documentation I understood that Maven first looks in the parent directory
for the pom file. If it can not be found it looks in the local repository.
And if that fails it will search the remote repository for the pom file. The
warning is only a warning... it does work.
