The foundation members fall into two layered orderings. `ike-base-parent` sits at the apex of the **parent** inheritance chain — every other foundation artifact inherits from it. `ike-platform` sits at the terminus of the **build-and-release** dependency chain — releases propagate through it last. ![Build/release dependency order](https://kroki.komet.sh/graphviz/svg/eNqFUstu2zAQvPsrCPXSIBZgx1BaI1APPfUDenOCYCWuZMYUSZCUErfIv2dXVGypl-okzr5mdlaq1oM7isb2RkJU1oi_KyE8mJNUvvz984FeVVtbbX0ZCQ4OPJrIcG07x2WE98iAsRLFIRzBYVnZt7UI8ayxzDxnoVw3SmuU2ZqmmWigo9Av1ANGVcOEBvUHy-2WHpSbpmZf8HtT4J4yPoE7_CZ3d9kTD0XZ0tD_dNxfa4vx41pWBgGFOGioUJeZOmHOSJ40Ppqv6UdYo8832ZJU0zQ73MxI4X2x3WwSqZfQu2XfFxggJ9RZz40H0D2KeHYYblJJtFYvSxhRpk3h14BvcRF-tf5EbtSYUwRNIO9SqrR1WHZiJMWchriMMdJY3803kv9ICg7JQAnhSPaJqUqkrcyUUj6Tnb9HvhddBDCHCzt689yrsAtASOirdJS17kNE_zx0OF6lmA5K2hhRPozI5_bvYVvtIUvgRNRjq7gBSkGqcUB_pnwT-g69qHql5aMhIxQdPobRDJl34E8UdcoEcSscOVArDFPf64VuEsDM5sukEewDdTHQYkdbmpnzz_3ssGiK2f1MCsatvq_eVx-IkS0e) Figure 1. Build/release dependency order Members at the same level have no dependency on each other — `ike-tooling` and `ike-workspace-extension` can release in either order or in parallel. ## [#ike-base-parent](#ike-base-parent)IKE Base Parent [https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/network.ike/ike-base-parent](https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/network.ike/ike-base-parent)[1] Tier 0 foundation parent for the IKE Network — the apex of the parent inheritance forest, inherited by ike-tooling, ike-docs, and ike-platform.

Split from ike-pipeline to resolve the extensions=true reactor-load cycle.

Lets a fresh clone of an IKE workspace bootstrap with mvn ws:scaffold-init before any subproject directory is on disk. | Version | 9 | | --- | --- | | Site | [ike.network/ike-workspace-extension](https://ike.network/ike-workspace-extension/)[14] | | GitHub | [IKE-Network/ike-workspace-extension](https://github.com/IKE-Network/ike-workspace-extension)[15] | ## [#ike-version-management-extension](#ike-version-management-extension)IKE Version Management Extension [https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/network.ike.tooling/ike-version-management-extension](https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/network.ike.tooling/ike-version-management-extension)[16] Maven 4 build extension that implements the IKE typed-marker family for version-property naming: ${groupId*GA*artifactId*VERSION}. Reads *ALIAS properties from the inherited file-model and injects the declared short-name indirections, fails fast on undeclared canonical references, and detects ${G.A} typos with a corrective hint. Accepts the pre-#525 U+00B7 form during the transition.

External doc and code projects inherit from ike-parent (declared here); cross-repo workspace operations use ike-workspace-maven-plugin (ws:* goals). Consumes ike-docs as an external artifact — ike-parent declares ike-doc-maven-plugin with extensions=true, resolving from Nexus at project-load time.

They are deliberately **not** published to Maven Central: they are worked examples to read and copy, not libraries to depend on. Publishing them as artifacts would invite accidental coupling to code that exists only to illustrate a pattern. ## [#ike-documentation-example](#ike-documentation-example)IKE Documentation Example Documentation-only project demonstrating the IKE AsciiDoc pipeline.

Each IT case clones the intended usage pattern (doc-only project, java + docs, BOM import, ws:create scaffold) in a fresh Maven environment and asserts that the build succeeds and produces the expected artifacts. | Version | 25 | | --- | --- | | Site | [ike.network/integration-tests-example](https://ike.network/integration-tests-example/)[26] | | GitHub | [IKE-Network/integration-tests-example](https://github.com/IKE-Network/integration-tests-example)[27] | ## [#ike-project-example](#ike-project-example)IKE Project Example Example Java project demonstrating IKE documentation pipeline integration with Java source, tests, and Koncept macros. | Version | 33 | | --- | --- | | Site | [ike.network/project-example](https://ike.network/project-example/)[28] | | GitHub | [IKE-Network/project-example](https://github.com/IKE-Network/project-example)[29] | ## [#ike-workspace-reactor-example](#ike-workspace-reactor-example)IKE Workspace Reactor Example | Version | 24 | | --- | --- | | Site | [ike.network/workspace-reactor-example](https://ike.network/workspace-reactor-example/)[30] | | GitHub | [IKE-Network/workspace-reactor-example](https://github.com/IKE-Network/workspace-reactor-example)[31] | #### [#modules_5](#modules_5)Modules - doc-example - project-example - integration-tests-example
