Maven 3 (M3) Needs parent.relativePath, Dead Repo, querydsl-docs Version

[rrmckinley]

It is no longer enough in Maven 3 (M3) to run mvn from the querydsl-root directory and have it assume it to be the parent when building the child projects. The child projects need to have a path back to the parent.

There is a dead repo in querydsl-jpa pom.xml. This is because the Eclipse mirror forwarding serves up a random mirror each time it is clicked. Eclipse wants the forwarder used directly in the pom.xml. If you would like to have a fixed mirror instead of the forwarder in the patch, please consider the well established http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/eclipse/rt/eclipselink/maven.repo (I hunted through the forwarded mirrors until I found a popular one).

Finally, does the querydsl-docs version need to be updated as shown in my patch?

Thanks!

Thanks for the patch. The docs version is sometimes out of sync, because I batch update the versions with our Maven Version plugin for the modules of querydsl-root. querydsl-docs is not a module under root.

Fixed in SVN trunk.
