[jira] Commented: (MNG-4687) Maven should not warn about incorrect parent path when no relativePath is specified

["Andrew Phillips (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4687?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=233302#action_233302 ] 

Andrew Phillips commented on MNG-4687:
--------------------------------------

I ran into this problem setting up a Maven project to be hosted by the de-facto "Maven people" themselves on the Nexus OSS server [1], and got the following answer from Juven Xu at Sonatype:

> IMO Maven should not log this warning if no relativePath is specified. The 
> project structure has no problem, it's a problem of Maven.

So I guess that should count as another +1 vote ;-)

> If a module pom uses a parent other than the one in the parent directory, maven logs a warning.  In some cases it is necessary that a module pom has an external parent pom, and there is no way to refer to this external pom in the relativePath.  If nothing is specified in the relativePath, Maven should not log the warning.
