I uploaded commons-parent POM 19-SNAPSHOT to the snapshot repo [1],
and then deleted it from my local repo (because I want to test how it
will work for others).
When I try to depend on it as a parent, i.e.
<parent>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-parent</artifactId>
<version>19-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
I get the following error:
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] FATAL ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Error building POM (may not be this project's POM).
Project ID: org.home.mvnsample:mvnsample:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT
Reason: Cannot find parent: org.apache.commons:commons-parent for
project: org.home.mvnsample:mvnsample:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT for project
org.home.mvnsample:mvnsample:jar:1.0-
SNAPSHOT
Yet when the POM depends on it as a dependency, i.e.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-parent</artifactId>
<version>19-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
it is downloaded without a problem.
It looks as though Maven does not check snapshot repositories for a
parent POM dependency.
Is this true, and if so is it intentional?
