Hello!

I've defined a hierarchical layout using a parent pom.xml :

|-module1
|     |
|     |-- pom.xml
|-module2
|     |
|     |-- pom.xml
|
|-- pom.xml


Since we are using eclipse, only a flat hierarchy is supported. Therefore, we 
checkout only the second level in eclipse for development. It works well, once 
the parent pom is installed on the local repository.  The parent pom has a 
snapshot version and the devlepers shall get the modifications automatically 
from the remote repository. However, the m2 doens't check the snapshot version 
for the projects parent pom.
Is it a bug? Does maven2 require to have the parent pom in the workspace too? 
It doens't make sense to me, since I see the parent pom as a normal dependency.

Thanks for your help in advance

Kuno
