"Non-resolvable parent POM: Could not transfer artifact" when trying to refer to a parent pom from a child pom with ${parent.groupid}

Tags:

maven

pom.xml

parent-pom

I'm following a tutorial for maven. I have a very simple project with a couple of modules inside. On the module pom I want to reference the main proyect pom version and group through ${parent.groupid} and ${parent.version} so if I change any of those I won't have to hunt the down in the child poms and change them but I'm getting the Non-resolvable parent POM: Could not transfer artifact error

I've read several "Non-resolvable parent POM:" questions here at stackoverflow but nothing that I've read has helped.

My directory structure is as follows:

tutorial_maven(dir)
 --> pom.xml(file)
 --> tutorial_maven_jar(dir)
     --> pom.xml(file)

I'm getting the following Error:

I've read through the links at Help 1 and Help 2 but found nothing that helps. From what I can understand from the logs is that maven is looking for my main pom in the maven repositories...

What am I missing?

Looks like you're trying to both inherit the groupId from the parent, and simultaneously specify the parent using an inherited groupId!

In the child pom, use something like this:

<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

<parent>
  <groupId>org.felipe</groupId>
  <artifactId>tutorial_maven</artifactId>
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <relativePath>../pom.xml</relativePath>
</parent>

<artifactId>tutorial_maven_jar</artifactId>

Using properties like ${project.groupId} won't work there. If you specify the parent in this way, then you can inherit the groupId and version in the child pom. Hence, you only need to specify the artifactId in the child pom.

I assume the question is already answered. If above solution doesn't help in solving the issue then can use below to solve the issue.

The issue occurs if sometimes your maven user settings is not reflecting correct settings.xml file.

To update the settings file go to Windows > Preferences > Maven > User Settings and update the settings.xml to it correct location.

Once this is doen re-build the project, these should solve the issue. Thanks.

I had the same issue. Fixed by adding a pom.xml in parent folder with <modules> listed.
