parent tag
The parent tag specifies which version of IGB your new App is compatible with. It also enables your project to inherit configurations from the parent pom.xml file, which will save you time and effort.
The version found in the parent tag of the App's pom.xml should match the version tag found in the IGB pom.xml at the top level of your cloned IGB project.
For example, if the IGB pom.xml contains version tag equal to 9.0.0, then the parent tag of the App's pom.xml should match the tag below.

In the image below, you can see that the IGB version of 9.0.0 is seen in the app's pom.xml.
