Description

Maven seems to be unable to fetch its parent pom.xml on a remote repository when it uses an interpolated variable in its repositories configuration.

However, if no parent is declared in the same project pom.xml and the parent is declared as a dependency instead, then it is downloaded. 

If we have both the parent configured and declared as a dependency, the same problem occurs : Maven can't download the parent from the remote repository

Lastly, if we replace the variable by its value, there are no problem downloading the parent pom.xml

The problem occurs whether the variable is a property defined in the pom.xml or is an environment variable

 

It seems maven can only interpolate a variable value in a pom.xml after the parent has been resolved
