I am new to maven.

I have one project which I try to build with the maven3.

When I run the command mvn -X clean install I got the error.

[root@localhost]# mvn -X clean install

I check the pom.xml but cant understand what was the problem. Some lines from my pom.xml is as below.

  1 <?xml version="1.0"?>
  2 <project xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd" xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"

I also check the solution on some question in stackoverflow like Non-resolvable parent POM: Could not find artifact but couldnt help to solve the problem.

If you need more information related to this question, let me know.

I faced the same issue. Setting relative path of the parent in module projects solved the issue.

Use <relativePath>../Parent Project Name/pom.xml</relativePath>
