- Constructor Detail
  - Parent
```
public Parent()
```
- Method Detail
  - clone
```
public Parent clone()
```
    Method clone.
    
    Overrides:
    
    clone in class Object
    
    Returns:
    Parent
  - getArtifactId
```
public String getArtifactId()
```
    Get the artifact id of the parent project to inherit from.
    
    Returns:
    String
  - getGroupId
```
public String getGroupId()
```
    Get the group id of the parent project to inherit from.
    
    Returns:
    String
  - getLocation
```
public InputLocation getLocation(Object key)
```
    Description copied from interface: InputLocationTracker
    
    Gets the location of the specified field in the input source.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getLocation in interface InputLocationTracker
    
    Parameters:
    key -
    
    Returns:
    InputLocation
  - getRelativePath
```
public String getRelativePath()
```
    Get the relative path of the parent pom.xml file within the check out. If not specified, it defaults to ../pom.xml. Maven looks for the parent POM first in this location on the filesystem, then the local repository, and lastly in the remote repo. relativePath allows you to select a different location, for example when your structure is flat, or deeper without an intermediate parent POM. However, the group ID, artifact ID and version are still required, and must match the file in the location given or it will revert to the repository for the POM. This feature is only for enhancing the development in a local checkout of that project. Set the value to an empty string in case you want to disable the feature and always resolve the parent POM from the repositories.
    
    Returns:
    String
  - getVersion
```
public String getVersion()
```
    Get the version of the parent project to inherit.
    
    Returns:
    String
  - setArtifactId
```
public void setArtifactId(String artifactId)
```
    Set the artifact id of the parent project to inherit from.
    
    Parameters:
    artifactId -
  - setGroupId
```
public void setGroupId(String groupId)
```
    Set the group id of the parent project to inherit from.
    
    Parameters:
    groupId -
  - setLocation
```
public void setLocation(Object key,
               InputLocation location)
```
    Description copied from interface: InputLocationTracker
    
    Sets the location of the specified field.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setLocation in interface InputLocationTracker
    
    Parameters:
    key -
    location -
