at the it is showing the following error:
Project build error: Non-resolvable parent POM: Could not find artifact info.magnolia:magnolia-parent-pom-community-module:pom:1.0.12-SNAPSHOT and 'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM
some where i got an idea of deleting all the *lastupdated.xml file but it is not helping.
Anything wrong with the Pom.xml ?
can anyone suggest me how to resolve this.

Answer 1

I tried building your pom. It was missing </project> at the end. I assume this was just copy paste error. Anyway it built fine for me using maven 3.2.1. I did verify info.magnolia:magnolia-parent-pom-community-module:pom:1.0.12-SNAPSHOT does not exist in the nexus.
I did a mvn dependency:tree on your pom and I don't see any dependency on the pom referenced in your error. Maybe you should try and analyze the pom and your end and see where this dependency is being brought in.

Answer 2

Looking at Magnolia Nexus the latest version of parent pom is 29. Your one is quite old. I suggest you change your pom to
<parent>
<groupId>info.magnolia</groupId>
<artifactId>magnolia-parent-pom-community-module</artifactId>
<version>29</version>
</parent>
