plugin parent pom not found for multi-module plugin

[jerome lacoste <je...@gmail.com>]

strange issue: building the keytool-maven-plugin (of type
maven-plugin) without building the root plugin works ok. If I build
the webstart-maven-plugin it does not, failing to find the plugin's
parent pom.


> mvn install
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
Downloading: file://${basedir}/tmp/m2repos/org/codehaus/mojo/mojo-sandbox/2-SNAPSHOT/mojo-sandbox-2-SNAPSHOT.pom
[WARNING] Unable to get resource from repository embedded

Reason: Unable to download the artifact from any repository

  org.codehaus.mojo:mojo-sandbox:pom:2-SNAPSHOT

from the specified remote repositories:
....




Now the webstart-maven-plugin is a little bit special. It is a
multi-module project with the following structure

  pom.xml
  mod1/
  ...
  mod2/
  ...
  plugin/
  plugin/pom.xml



the plugin/pom.xml references the mojo-sandbox 2-SNAPSHOT pom that it
found one level beneath the plugin root directory.

If I diff the keytool-maven-plugin/pom.xml and the
webstart-maven-plugin/plugin/pom.xml I get the following:

--- plugin/pom.xml      2006-01-18 14:00:24.000000000 +0100

...

So they look identical to me. Could the failure to find the plugin
parent pom be linked to the fact that I am using modules in my plugin?

Cheers,
