title: Baeldung: maven Non-resolvable parent
body: <p>I'm trying the Baeldung <strong>Drools Spring Integration</strong> described in <a href="https://www.baeldung.com/drools-spring-integration" rel="noreferrer">here</a>. However, in the first step of resolving maven dependencies, I get the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[ERROR]   The project com.baeldung:spring-drools:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT (spring-drools\pom.xml) has 1 error
    [ERROR]     Non-resolvable parent POM for com.baeldung:spring-drools:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact com.baeldung:parent-modules:pom:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT and 'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM @ line 9, column 13 -> [Help 2]</p>
