NAME
----
pom_add_parent - add parent POM reference to POM file

SYNOPSIS
--------
*%pom_add_parent* groupId*:*artifactId[*:*version] [POM-location]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
This macro patches specified POM file adding a reference to parent POM
with specified groupId, artifactId and version.

groupId and artifactId are identifiers of Maven group and artifact of
the POM to be referenced as parent POM.  They must be specified.  If
version is not specified then default value of "any" is used.

POM location can be either a full path to the POM file, or a path to
the directory containing *pom.xml*.  If POM location is not given then
*pom.xml* from current working directory is used.

EXAMPLES
--------
*%pom_add_parent foo:bar baz* - this call adds reference to parent POM
artifact *foo:bar* to *baz/pom.xml* file.

BUGS
----
If specified POM has already a reference to parent POM this macro will
not alter or remove it.  Instead a second reference will be added.
This is usually not the expected behavior as it results in creating
invalid POM file.  In order to replace existing parent POM reference,
*pom_set_parent*(7) should be used instead.
