Description

A POM with a parent

 <parent>
 <groupId>org.sonatype.oss</groupId>
 <artifactId>oss-parent</artifactId>
 <version>4</version>
 </parent>

does not resolve. Example:

 [ivy:resolve] 		::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
 [ivy:resolve] 		::          UNRESOLVED DEPENDENCIES         ::
 [ivy:resolve] 		::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
 [ivy:resolve] 		:: com.google.gwt#gwt-user;2.8.2:com.google.gwt#gwt;2.8.2->org.sonatype.oss#oss-parent;4
 [ivy:resolve] 		:: com.google.gwt#gwt-dev;2.8.2:com.google.gwt#gwt;2.8.2->org.sonatype.oss#oss-parent;4
 [ivy:resolve] 		:: com.google.gwt#gwt-servlet;2.8.2:com.google.gwt#gwt;2.8.2->org.sonatype.oss#oss-parent;4
 [ivy:resolve] 		:: com.google.gwt#gwt-codeserver;2.8.2:com.google.gwt#gwt;2.8.2->org.sonatype.oss#oss-parent;4
