Baeldung: maven Non-resolvable parent

Question

I'm trying the Baeldung Drools Spring Integration described in here. However, in the first step of resolving maven dependencies, I get the following error:

[ERROR] The project com.baeldung:spring-drools:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT (spring-drools\pom.xml) has 1 error [ERROR] Non-resolvable parent POM for com.baeldung:spring-drools:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact com.baeldung:parent-modules:pom:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT and 'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM @ line 9, column 13 -> [Help 2]

pom.xml:

Answer 1

The following element is causing the problem

<parent>
        <groupId>com.baeldung</groupId>
        <artifactId>parent-modules</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </parent>

This parent pom should be available in local maven repository. Please check your local maven repository.
