How to deal with parent artifact with version RELEASE

Hi here,

I am facing the same problem exposed in the old forum:

How to exclude parent poms from dependency resolution for maven artifact?

Hello, I’d like to download artifact from internal maven repository but the build fails due to dependency resolution problems. Artifact’s pom has parent which has a parent of its own, it looks like: projectA - projectB – projectC Artifact from projectC is the one I want to pull out from repository, that simple. But build fails because of dependency resolution problem for parent project (version of parent project is set to RELEASE in pom for artifact I want to download) So, how do I exclude…

How to ignore parent pom for dependency resolution?

How to ignore parent pom for dependency resolution? I have a dependency to a SNAPSHOT in the pom of this dependency there is a reference to a parent pom. If I build the project with maven it works fine, but using gradle it always tries to resolve the parent reference. Is there a way to ignore this? or a workaround? Can @Jar guess the latest version for the Snapshot?

I cannot modify the dependency so I wonder if there is another solution to solve this issue.
