Benjamin Bentmann commented on MSITE-261: ----------------------------------------- A simpler workaround should be to just specify the path to the parent POM directly, e.g. "../parent/pom.xml" instead of "../parent". That's how I successfully get the plugin to work properly. > Local Parent POM not found if <relativePath> specifies a directory > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MSITE-261 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-261 > Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: multi module > Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-5 > Environment: Maven 2.0.7, JDK 1.5.0_12, WinXP SP2 > Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann > Priority: Minor > Attachments: site-parent-pom.patch > > > The Maven core allows to specify a directory for the <relativePath> element > in a module POM to locate the parent POM, e.g.{code:xml}<parent> > ... > <relativePath>../parent</relativePath> > </parent>{code}will properly find the parent POM in "../parent/pom.xml". > However, the Site plugin does not follow this lookup strategy:{code} > [INFO] [site:site] > [INFO] Unable to load parent project from a relative path: Could not find the > model file '[SNIP]\..\parent'. for project unknown > [INFO] Parent project loaded from repository.{code} > This log output is actually from 2.0-beta-6-SNAPSHOT, 2.0-beta-5 outputs a > different message but fails, too. > The attached patch fixes this although I wonder whether this functionality is > not already included somewhere in the Maven core (where is belongs IMHO). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
