Maven 2.0.7 and 

Hi all,
I did not find a good explanation about the usage of <relativePath/> in the
net. I am interested if I have e.g.:

<parent>
        <groupId>com.mycomp</groupId>
        <artifactId>mycomp-parent-pom</artifactId>
        <version>${mycomp.version}</version>
        <relativePath>../../parent-pom/pom.xml</relativePath>
    </parent>

If the <relativePath> will be checked first and then the repositories?
Currently I can see into the logs that Maven tries to download the artifact
from the repository, but there is no an artifact with version
${mycomp.version}. I am expecting that Maven should try the relative path?

Thank you in advance.

Regards, Dobri

Yes, right.

Thanks!

You can use snapshots, you should still not use properties in parent.*
or project.groupId / project.artifactId / project.version

Hi,
I think in this case it is possible to solve this if we use SNAPSHOT as

The parents must be found before the property interpolation can occur
and you essentially have a chicken or egg problem here.

It would only work I think if those properties are always defined on the

The relative path is used when building a child module to find the
parent. By default it looks in ../pom.xml but you can change this. If
the matching parent is not found on disk, it will be retrieved from the
repository. 

You should not have properties in the g/a/v of either the parent section
or the primary declaration of an artifact (project.group...etc) as this
will surely cause you lots of headaches.
