"Cannot find symbol" or "could not find artifact" when referencing parent dir's pom.xml

[Henri Tremblay]

This is on the maven-archetype-plugin side. And it can't do that right now.
It is not as powerful a you think. The maven-archetype-plugin can

   1. Generate a single project
   2. Generate a project and add it as a module when launched from a
   directory with a parent pom

That's it.
