[jira] [Reopened] (MNG-5821) Documentation of the element parent.relativePath wrong in XSD

["Hervé Boutemy (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5821?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Hervé Boutemy reopened MNG-5821:
--------------------------------

reopening the issue
Arthur is right, maven-4.0.0.xsd in site is outdated: see http://maven.apache.org/xsd/
{noformat} maven-4.0.0.xsd	2012-12-11 13:48{noformat}

current 3.3.3 documentation = http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.3.3/maven-model/maven.html#class_parent
but xsd was put in the site in 2012, and seems to have been generated even before
see https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/site/trunk/content/resources/xsd/

I'll move this issue to MNGSITE (since this is a site issue) and update the xsd with a recently generated one, taken from current source HEAD

(and in fact, perhaps we should publish the xsd sometimes, since we don't update elements but we update documentation/comments in it)

> The documentation of the element parent.relativePath in the XSD file seems to be wrong or outdated. It says: 
> "Maven looks for the parent pom first in the reactor of currently building projects, then in this location on the filesystem, then the local repository, and lastly in the remote repo." 
> (Source: http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd)
> But the actual documentation of maven says
> "Maven looks for the parent POM first in this location on the filesystem, then the local repository, and lastly in the remote repo."
> (Source: http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.3/maven-model/apidocs/org/apache/maven/model/Parent.html#getRelativePath%28%29)
> I have tested it on my local and I have seen the behavior as described in the second source, i.e. maven does not look for the parent pom in the reactor of currently building projects first.
> So this is pretty misleading. It is even more misleading for us, as we are reading the documentation directly from eclipse, which loads it from the XSD file.
> Could you please correct the XSD documentation?
