Hi Wendy , I agree to the concern why is the <parent> being used in different components. But, the project < which contains multiple components > is being setup this way and each component refers to the <parent> [ actually as these components uses the <parent> component dependencies ,it is setup this way] .
And, if we build the parent and then the component without <relativePath> , it builds fine.But,not everytime we build from the component , and as the parent project name changes and is maintianed in the settings.xml profile; hence it requires a way where the <relativePath> can be dynamically loaded from settings.xml profiles.
