It still seems correct as per the quote provided above, even if it didn't used to work this way. Is there anywhere else where it specifies the behaviour that you've come to expect?
I see a few cases: gid + aid = error or at least warning for no version, unless ../pom.xml exists gid + aid + ver = success if ver available, though according to docs ../pom.xml should make it succeed. gid + aid + relpath = success if relpath available gid + aid + ver + relpath = ? during build, vs during release specified version is snapshot or not relpath version is snapshot or not versions match or don't path specified exists, or not I agree that if it's using some snapshot (even if resolved through the relative path) during a release, that's wrong/bad/evil. But the rest of the time? The language seems pretty clear "Maven looks for the parent POM first in this location on the filesystem, then the local repository, and lastly in the remote repo."
