Repositories declared in parent pom are not used in children modules

• Complexity:

  Intermediate

I have a super pom named "main-itcb".

In my super pom, i have declared many repositories :

<repositories>
		<repository>
			<id>sonatype</id>
			<url>http://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public</url>
		</repository>
			
		<repository>
			<id>jboss</id>
			<url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
		</repository>
		
		<repository>
			<id>repo-ext_spring</id>
			<url>https://springframework.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/springframework/repos/repo-ext</url>
		</repository>
		
		<repository>
			<id>milestone_spring</id>
			<url>http://maven.springframework.org/milestone/</url>
		</repository>
		
	
	</repositories>

Then i have a module with a parent pom which inherits from "main-itcb". My module is called "itcb-common-root".

<parent>
		<artifactId>main-itcb</artifactId>
		<groupId>net.sf.itcb.common</groupId>
		<version>1.5.0-RC2-SNAPSHOT</version>
	</parent>

	<groupId>net.sf.itcb.common</groupId>
	<artifactId>itcb-common-root</artifactId>
	<version>0.6.0-RC7-SNAPSHOT</version>
	<packaging>pom</packaging>

This module declares children modules which sources are integrated in subdirectories.

<modules>
		<module>common-business</module>
		<module>common-business-impl</module>
		<module>common-server</module>
		<module>common-client</module>
		<module>common-portlet</module>
	</modules>

With Maven 2.2.1 or with *Maven 3.0.3", i run "maven install" on "main-itcb", then "itcb-common-root".
When main-itcb is compiling, it is using all repositories i defined, in order to retrieve dependencies.
When itcb-common-root is compiling, it is using all repositories in order to retrieve dependencies.
==> For now : no problem

After having compiled itcb-common-root, Maven automatically launches the submodules build.
Here is the problem :

• With Maven 2.2.1, it is using the reprositories i defined
• Whereas with Maven 3.0.3, it is not using repositories i defined. It always tries to download artifacts from Maven central.
