The answer is... yes! Simply remove the relative path information. For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> <parent> <groupId>com.biomedcentral.organization</groupId> <artifactId>organization</artifactId> <version>1.1-SNAPSHOT</version> </parent> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.biomedcentral</groupId> You just have to make sure that the pom you are referencing is published in a repository that the build environment has access to, and it will download the pom just like any other dependency.
