Thank you very much for your contribution! From my understanding, the default behavior of parent pom resolution of Maven is checking the parent directory - thus, explicitly setting the relative path to the parent directory should not change anything. What is the motivation of explicitly setting the relative path here in this way?

As of now, the PR includes lots of changes on ".gitignore" as well as adding ".classpath" and ".project" files of an IDE. Is this intentional? If no, would it be possible to remove the files & changes not related to relative path in the POMs?

sorry, the .classpath and .project where NOT intended to be included - let me get back to reviewing this.

And here you are also correct, so this whole PR might as well be dropped, sorry, for the confusion.
It was probably the eclipse:eclipse goal that had trouble resolving the parent pom but that is specific to this plugin.
I have yet to learn on how to work with gitub PRs, so please bear with me.

As said, might as well drop this PR....
