yes, at the moment no parent is used. It's a minor change, I could
turn it on before the release if needed.
Sincerely I still think it's better to have such info into each pom,
given that a change in the parent pom should mean a new release for it
and an update of each child (ok, you say you can "fix" it in a single
place in the repo, but everybody who previously downloaded also a
single eclipse artifact before will never see that change, since the
parent pom will never be downloaded again).
but you'd only need to delete the parent to get a new one, instead of
deleting all children poms
If you put those informations into each pom and change them only for
different releases (I don't think we should even plan to "enrich"
already deployed poms) that will be transparent to users.
sometimes is done making sure it doesn't change previous build
behaviour (relocations, license info, urls, scm info, ...)
Another reason is that the make:artifacts goal was also intended to
help users in generating/installing artifacts from a local eclipse
installation to a local maven repository: breaking this by requiring a
remotely downloaded parent pom doesn't worth this change IMHO.
the parent pom can be in central so they'll get it as soon as they need it
Anyway: at the moment only you and me discussed about this, I would
like to hear some other thoughts from maven/eclipse users and from
other devs involved in repository management (jason, brett?). Let's
keep the release vote anyway, please, and I will turn the writing of
the <parent> tag on or off based on the result of this discussion...
