Maven added additional flexibility for version of the parent project. http://maven.apache.org/docs/3.2.2/release-notes.html https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2199 The NetBeans Maven project support needs to be updated to support this as using the ranged form, [1.0.1,1.9.9) currently always results in "The parent POM with id com.example:FooBar:[1.0.1,1.9.9) was not found in sources or local repository. Please check that <relativePath> tag is present and correct, the version of parent POM in sources matches the version defined. If parent is only available through a remote repository, please check that the repository hosting it is defined in the current POM."
