Rendering the site produces a Fatal error message if the parent pom isn't in
the parent directory
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4399
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4399
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Artifacts and Repositories
Affects Versions: 3.0-alpha-3
Reporter: Niall Pemberton
Priority: Minor
Attachments: test-project.zip, warn-if-parent-pom-notfound.patch
Apache Commons's parent pom[1] used by the 30+ commons components[2] is not in
the parent directory. With maven 2.2.1 this just produces an [INFO] message
saying "Unable to load parent project from a relative path". With maven 3
(built today from subversion) there is now also a [FATAL] message in the output
(the build doesn't fail - but seeing [FATAL] in the output doesn't look good):
* [INFO] --- maven-site-plugin:2.0.1:site (default-site) @ module-a ---
* [INFO] Unable to load parent project from a relative path: 1 problem was
encountered while building the effective model
* [FATAL] Non-readable POM C:\svn\maven-test-proj\pom.xml:
C:\svn\maven-test-proj\pom.xml (The system cannot find the file specified) @
C:\svn\maven-test-proj\pom.xml for project at C:\svn\maven-test-proj\pom.xml
I'm attaching a test project which demostrates this - need to first run "mvn
install" on the parent-pom project and then "mvn site" on the module-a project
to see the above output
Also attaching a patch which catches FileNotFoundException and outputs a
[WARNING] message instead of [FATAL] - not sure if this is the best solution,
but in this circumstance its much better than seeing [FATAL} - even if the
build doesn't fail.
