The build process changed a bit just last week. The projects use a Maven
parent POM project. This was formerly was locked to released version of
the parent POM published in the Nexus repository. Since the v2 projects
are now under more active development, we switched the v2 build to be
similar to our methodology for v3 and to use a SNAPSHOT build of the
TRUNK of the Maven parent. So it is now required to have that installed
in the local Maven repo, just like other dependencies.

I have updated the Wiki article above to reflect the additional step to
build and install locally the parent POM project.
