I have a use-case where I have a structure like this

parent

• child1
• child2

currently I can omit the version, but need to specify the version what is good, I still need to specify G+A

[ERROR]   
[ERROR]   The project [unknown-group-id]:bundle1:1.0.0.qualifier (/projects/reactor.makeBehaviour/bundle1/META-INF) has 2 errors
[ERROR]     'parent.groupId' is missing.
[ERROR]     'parent.artifactId' is missing.
[ERROR] 

it would be great if not only the version but also the G+A would just be assumed to be the one where parent ref points to, e.g this would be enough

<parent>
   <relativePath>...</relativePath>
</parent>

Basically even

<parent>
</parent>

as <relativePath>...</relativePath> is the default.
