LEONID ILYEVSKY commented on MNG-624:
-------------------------------------
The solution is to define the profile right there in pom.xml of the parent
project, not in the separate profiles.xml file. Then it is deployed to the
repository.
Thanks Abhishekh, this is a great workaround, it solved my problem.
On the other note, I agree with Robert that "<relativePath> should be enough to
specify a parent POM.". Maybe we will see this fixed in the near future.

> currently, you have to specify the parent version when extending which makes

> maintainance problem when you start development on a new version. Tools can
> help, but it would be nice not to have to rely on them.
> One alternative is to allow the parent version to be omitted, and when it is
> it is assumed you want the latest. The parent is used from the reactor or the
> universal source directory. IT may also be read from a LATEST in the
> repository though this is contentious - it may be better to simply fail in
> that environment and require builds be in a known checkout structure for
> building individual projects.
> This also introduces the need for tool support to populate the version on
> release and deployment for reproducibility.
