Maven 2 needs to give a warning when it is being run in a Maven 1 project and
there isn't a pom.xml file
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-1271
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1271
Project: Maven 2
Type: Improvement
Components: design
Versions: 2.0
Reporter: Mike Taylor
I was installing Maven 2 per the Installation Instructions and after running
mvn --version and seeing 2.0 I decided to "try it out" - now realize I am a
build/release guy, *not* a java coder so I'm coming from this as a complete
newbie.
So, happy that Maven 2 was installed I went over to the working directory for
our Maven 1 project and typed "mvn compile" and after a couple minutes of some
downloading I get the following:
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
...
[INFO] Cannot execute mojo: resources. It requires a project, but the build is
not using one.
...
[INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch
ok, hmm, I'm thinking "well, I *see* project.xml - what the heck does it want"
but I run mvn -e compile to be safe. That spews a nice stack trace (and if I
was a java guy it would probably make sense) but still nothing says "hey fool -
this is Maven *2* - you need a pom.xml file not that so-last-decade project.xml
file!"
anywho - sorry for the long winded report - can you change the INFO message to
mention pom.xml?
