Scott MacDonald commented on MNG-4687:
--------------------------------------
The requiremnt to add <relativePath></relativePath> to all poms who desire repo
based resolution of thier parent pom is a bit painful when you have hundreds
of modules.
I would prefer automatic local resolution of parent poms residing in the direct
parent dirctory if they exist. If a parent dir does not exist, resolve parent
poms via repository. This allows for parent/child modules who are in the
local workspaces to resolve properly, without the silliness of adding
<relativePath></relativePath> to all poms that do not have parents in their
immediate parent directory.
In the case were a relativePath is specified, honor that local path.
Incidentally, can anyone explain why I have been using maven 3.0.3 for about a
month, and this relativePath warning just started today without any discernible
related restructuring of poms, parent references, or thier directory
structures? Very, very strange.

> If a module pom uses a parent other than the one in the parent directory,
> maven logs a warning. In some cases it is necessary that a module pom has an
> external parent pom, and there is no way to refer to this external pom in the
> relativePath. If nothing is specified in the relativePath, Maven should not
> log the warning.
