Non-resolvable parent POM using Maven 3.0.3 and relativePath notation

Make sure you Double-Check that the version you refer to in the child-pom is the same as that in the parent-pom. For me, I’d bumped version in the parent and had it as 3.1.0.0-RELEASE, but in the child-pom, I was still referring to the previous version via relativePath, and had it defined as 2.0.0.0-SNAPSHOT. It did not make any difference if I included just the parent directory, or had the “pom.xml” appended to the directory:

    <parent>        
    <artifactId>eric-project-parent</artifactId>
    <groupId>com.eric.common</groupId>
     <!-- Should be 3.1.0.0-RELEASE -->
    <version>2.0.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>     
    <relativePath>
                ../../EricParentAsset/projects/eric-project-parent</relativePath>           
</parent>
