Reporter: Scott M Stark If I am using the Maven CI friendly version approach and have a parent pom like: {code:xml} <project xmlns="..."> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <parent> <groupId>org.eclipse.ee4j</groupId> <artifactId>project</artifactId> <version>1.0.9</version> </parent> <groupId>jakarta.platform</groupId> <artifactId>jakartaee-api-parent</artifactId> <version>${revision}${changelist}</version> <packaging>pom</packaging> <modules> <module>jakartaee-bom</module> </modules> <properties> <revision>11.0.0</revision> <changelist>-SNAPSHOT</changelist> ... {code} and a child pom like: {code:xml} <project xmlns="..."> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <parent> <groupId>jakarta.platform</groupId> <artifactId>jakartaee-api-parent</artifactId> <version>${revision}</version> </parent> ... {code} running a command like `mvn --errors -U -Drevision=11.0.0 -Dchangelist= package` fails even though logically the child reference to the parent should work. The reported error is: {noformat} starksm@Scotts-Mac-Studio test-jakartaee-api % mvn --errors -U -Drevision=11.0.0 -Dchangelist= package [INFO] Error stacktraces are turned on. [INFO] Scanning for projects... Downloading from central: https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/jakarta/platform/jakartaee-api-parent/$%7Brevision%7D/jakartaee-api-parent-$%7Brevision%7D.pom [ERROR] [ERROR] Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs: [FATAL] Non-resolvable parent POM for jakarta.platform:jakarta.jakartaee-bom:${revision}: The following artifacts could not be resolved: jakarta.platform:jakartaee-api-parent:pom:${revision} (absent): Could not find artifact jakarta.platform:jakartaee-api-parent:pom:${revision} in central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2) and 'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM @ line 22, column 13 ... {noformat} After debugging what the cause was I saw that there is no property resolution being done in this phase of the model build process. The parent resolution was looking for a file that had the literal version of "${revision}${changelist}". If the error message about the "'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM" included the GAV of the located parent pom.xml it would make it more obvious that the problem was the literal version string value being used by the child pom. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
