Local Parent POM not found if <relativePath> specifies a directory
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MSITE-261
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-261
Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: multi module
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-5
Environment: Maven 2.0.7, JDK 1.5.0_12, WinXP SP2
Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
Priority: Minor
Attachments: site-parent-pom.patch
The Maven core allows to specify a directory for the <relativePath> element in
a module POM to locate the parent POM, e.g.{code:xml}<parent>
...
<relativePath>../parent</relativePath>
</parent>{code}will properly find the parent POM in "../parent/pom.xml".
However, the Site plugin does not follow this lookup strategy:{code}
[INFO] [site:site]
[INFO] Unable to load parent project from a relative path: Could not find the
model file '[SNIP]\..\parent'. for project unknown
[INFO] Parent project loaded from repository.{code}
This log output is actually from 2.0-beta-6-SNAPSHOT, 2.0-beta-5 outputs a
different message but fails, too.
The attached patch fixes this although I wonder whether this functionality is
not already included somewhere in the Maven core (where is belongs IMHO).
