Description

New APIs were introduced by https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2629/ Maven project support should implement the relevant queries.

Unlike Gradle, it seems that Maven has a different concept of parent: in Maven, parent project is the project that provides base configuration. But the parent in Gradle is an owner.

In Maven, parent project (in terms of settings inheritance) can be a sibling or event a sub-project; yet the project is owned by another aggregate project.

lkishalmi – what was the intended semantics of ParentProjectProvider ? Semantic/settings inheritance, or containment ?
