Kuno, Why maven wouldn't check from newer versions of snapshot-parent, that is any issue I can't anwser. I do have a solution for your problem though.
I would like to suggest: Upgrade your eclipse. Since Eclipse 3.3 it is possible to have overlapping projects. I check out the entire multi-module-project from SVN to a location on my computer outside my eclipse workspace. This becomes a 'General project'. Then I run mvn eclipse:eclipse with the project folder and import the projects for each separate module. When I synchronize with my SVN-repository I also receive the latest version of parent pom and do not need the maven-functionality for retrieving the latest SNAPSHOT of the parent.pom from the snapshot-repository. For me it works like a charm.

I've defined a hierarchical layout using a parent pom.xml : |-module1 | | | |-- pom.xml |-module2 | | | |-- pom.xml | |-- pom.xml Since we are using eclipse, only a flat hierarchy is supported. Therefore, we checkout only the second level in eclipse for development. It works well, once the parent pom is installed on the local repository. The parent pom has a snapshot version and the devlepers shall get the modifications automatically from the remote repository. However, the m2 doens't check the snapshot version for the projects parent pom. Is it a bug? Does maven2 require to have the parent pom in the workspace too? It doens't make sense to me, since I see the parent pom as a normal dependency.
