I have a "tools" directory under "parent" and the children projects need
to invoke commands under "tools" during the phase of code generation. I
want to provide an absolute path to that "${parent}/tools" so that each
child can invoke from there.
Or is there other better way to solve it? is there really a ${parent}
property tag in maven?

Why do you need to do this? There may be a better way to do the same
thing that does not involve a ${parent} tag at all.
