Michael Osipov commented on MNG-6596: ------------------------------------- I don't understand this request. If the parent POM is not available locally it will be downloaded. Where is the issue here? > maven should not make assumptions on the location of the parent pom > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-6596 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6596 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 3.5.4, 3.6.0 > Environment: linux maven 3.5.4 and 3.6.0 > Reporter: Pieter van den Hombergh > Priority: Major > > the parent pom is currently the way to go to set configurations for multiple > projects, even if these projects are not siblings. > Creating and deploying a parent pom to be shared in many projects should not > force you to copy the parent pom around. Configurations should be dealt with > in the same way: Don not repeat (as in copy and waste) yourselves. > Making NO assumption OR ignoring the (default)) parentPath when the > assumption does not match would solve this issue. > The problem is even more annoying when maven reacts differently to using the > same parent pom. > The parent pom in question can be found on github under [statewalker > sebipom|https://github.com/sebivenlo/statewalker] -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
