Yes parent really does have to be a POM package. http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-pom.html
I've just tried using the latest 2.6-SNAPSHOT and I'm getting the following error: [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Error building POM (may not be this project's POM). Project ID: org.apache.jmeter:ApacheJMeter_core Reason: Parent: org.apache.jmeter:ApacheJMeter_parent:jar:2.6-SNAPSHOT of project: org.apache.jmeter:ApacheJMeter_core has wrong packaging: jar.

The poms are basically just being used as jar descriptors and dependency declarations currently. Does the parent really have to be a pom package? Has anyone tried using one of the latest snapshots (i.e. one with ApacheJMeter_parent.jar as well as .pom)? > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Collin [mailto:m...@ardescosolutions.com] > Sent: 23 January 2012 06:39 > To: dev@jmeter.apache.org > Subject: RE: Properties files in mavenised artifacts > > The mvn deploy command should also build the package if the <build> > section exists in the POM so you could have a build section for the > parent POM that only pulls in resources that are required (this would > muddy the waters slightly but seems like the pragmatic approach). > > Of course you could also tweak your ant script to build all of the > dependencies into a jar and then deploy that as well for the mavenised > build.
