Maven : Parent project not resolved, transitive dependencies not used for compiling

Question

Hello.

After searching and trying a lot of things I need a Maven maven :)
So, my problem is that on my development box (which is Windows 2003) I can build my maven project, but on the Bamboo server (x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) it fails because one of the modules doesn't have a library and the compiling doesn't find a class.
The class is found in a transitive dependency, dependency that it seems to me that is not resolved.
I've run the command "mvn -X clean install" on both boxes and compared the output. The only change I think it's relevant is

On dev-box

[DEBUG] Retrieving parent-POM: pl.com.abg.iacsro:sapscndp-claimprocessing:pom:1.0-SNAPSHOT for project: pl.com.abg.iacsro:sapscndp-claimprocessing-api:jar:DEV2010 from the repository.  

On Bamboo box

[DEBUG] Retrieving parent-POM: pl.com.abg.iacsro:sapscndp-claimprocessing:pom:1.0-SNAPSHOT for project: null:sapscndp-claimprocessing-api:jar:DEV2010 from the repository.

It seems to me that maven doesn't resolve the parent of the module, because later in the build process I've seen (on Bamboo box)

[WARNING] POM for 'pl.com.abg.iacsro:sapscndp-claimprocessing-api:pom:DEV2010:provided' is invalid.
Its dependencies (if any) will NOT be available to the current build.
[DEBUG] Reason: Failed to validate POM for project pl.com.abg.iacsro:sapscndp-claimprocessing-api at Artifact [pl.com.abg.iacsro:sapscndp-claimprocessing-api:pom:DEV2010:provided] 
Validation Errors:
[DEBUG] 'dependencies.dependency.version' is missing for pl.com.abg.iacsro:systemcore-jobs-api:jar
[DEBUG] 'dependencies.dependency.version' is missing for pl.com.abg.iacsro:workflow-crossconflictresolution-api:jar
[DEBUG] 'dependencies.dependency.version' is missing for pl.com.abg.iacsro:iacs-commons-objectfactory:jar
[DEBUG] 'dependencies.dependency.version' is missing for ro.siveco.iacsro:farmerregistry-api:jar

I've also found this

[WARNING] POM for 'pl.com.abg.iacsro:sapscndp-claimprocessing-api:pom:DEV2010:provided' is invalid.

but I've checked and validated myself the pom of the dependency against the xsd, so the pom is valid.


Do you have any idea how to resolve this ?

Many thanks!

P.S. : In case maybe I've overlooked something, here's the full listing from the Bamboo box http://dl.dropbox.com/u/402296/install.txt

When I see such an entry:

[DEBUG] Connecting to repository: 'Artifactory-internal-repository' with url: 'http://192.168.0.59:8081/artifactory/repo'.
Downloading: http://192.168.0.59:8081/artifactory/repo/pl/com/abg/iacsro/onthespotcheck/1.0-SNAPSHOT/onthespotcheck-1.0-SNAPSHOT.pom

[DEBUG]   Artifact resolved
[WARNING] POM for 'pl.com.abg.iacsro:onthespotcheck-checks-api:pom:DEV2009_2:provided' is invalid.

I'm tempted to ask if there is anything particular to say about onthespotcheck-1.0-SNAPSHOT.pom?

As a side note, you have a bunch of:

for project: null:artifactId:version

that I find pretty weird. Why is the groupId null? Anything worth to mention about your pom?
