[jira] Created: (MNG-459) tag ignored for single module
<parent> tag ignored for single module
--------------------------------------
Key: MNG-459
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-459
Project: Maven 2
Type: Improvement
Reporter: Edwin Punzalan
Priority: Trivial
Currently, to do multiple modules, you need to go through all the pom.xml of each module and add the <parent> tag. Actually this is fine, but then pom.xml should be distributable, right?
What I mean is, if I want to distribute a single module named Xmodule from an m2 group project, then the pom.xml of Xmodule would contain the <parent> tag which is not relevant and I found m2 to be ignoring it anyway.
So, instead of putting a <parent> tag, maybe its better to reverse the configuration by just adding a <child> tag on the parent pom.xml. This way, the child modules can be distributed without the <parent> tags.

[jira] Closed: (MNG-459) tag ignored for single module

Resolution: Won't Fix
m2 uses the parent tag - it is used to assemble inheritence by incorporating tags from the parent. It builds fine standalone, because the parent is published to the repository.
The child references you are looking for are <modules/>, which trigger subbuilds from the parent.
