Stan Devitt commented on MNG-4687: ---------------------------------- Current design of 3.0 betas assumes the pom of the directory above is a parent. Good design separates the role of parent and aggregation and it makes sense for the aggregator to be in the directory above, and for the parent to be a stable configuration that come from the repository. It would be very nice for this to be sorted out before the release of Maven 3.0. > Maven should not warn about incorrect parent path when no relativePath is > specified > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-4687 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4687 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Logging > Affects Versions: 3.0-beta-1 > Reporter: Paul Gier > Priority: Minor > Attachments: MNG-relativePath.zip > > > If a module pom uses a parent other than the one in the parent directory, > maven logs a warning.
