Description

When setting version to X in the root pom of a multi-module build and version Y in a child pom and the child pom specifies a correct <relativePath> tag in the parent section of the child pom, Maven will not fail the build.

I tried invoking mvn validate from the root and it reported that the build succeeded. However, if I remove the <relativePath> from the parent section, the enforcer rule correctly reports that the module build is incoherent.

Moreover, if I invoke mvn -pl :sub-module validate with the <relativePath> reinserted, it will again correctly report an incoherent build.
