pom.xml, must be "pom" but is "jar" @ ***

今天在对maven子项目进行maven操作时提示该错误，具体报错信息如下：

[ERROR] [ERROR] Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs:
[ERROR] Invalid packaging for parent POM com.eric:springcloud:1.0-SNAPSHOT (E:\idea-workspace\springcloud\pom.xml), must be "pom" but is "jar" @ com.eric:springcloud:1.0-SNAPSHOT, E:\idea-workspace\springcloud\pom.xml

解决办法：很简单，在maven父工程的pom.xml文件的project节点下指定打包方式为pom即可：

<packaging>pom</packaging>
