Hello, On the contrary, Project Aggregation (multi-module) and Project Inheritance (Parent-Child) are assumed to be separate concepts as per the description in the Maven documentation ( https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-pom.html#Project_Inheritance_vs_Project_Aggregation ) and in this example from Sonatype (Section 3.6.2, https://books.sonatype.com/mvnref-book/reference/pom-relationships-sect-pom-best-practice.html )
I believe that this might be a bug as Robert mentioned. I opened the following issue for this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6835?orderby=created+DESC%2C+priority+DESC%2C+updated+DESC Regards, Kypros Chrysanthou On Mon, Dec 30, 2019 at 4:57 PM Jason Young <jason.yo...@procentive.com> wrote: > Does the Maven documentation actually say anywhere that the > project-submodule relationship and the parent-child relationship should be > in any way related?
