- calling a goal that does not need a POM in the current dir in a

mvn install:install-file <args>
mvn archetype:create <args>
Maven walks down the complete project hierarchy ...

But Maven can't tell the difference between "doesn't need a
POM" (archetype, which can use it and add a <module> if it exists)
and "shouldn't use a POM" (install-file), so this isn't an error
condition. It's something the plugin developers need to take into
account.

Yes, but has the Mojo any chance of telling this to Maven? I am not too familiar with the internals, but I assume that the evaluation of the POMs takes place before the goal is called. If the Mojo has already the possibility to supress the traversal of the modules, then I agree and it's a simple bug in the goal.

That's one of the things @aggregator is used for (though it has had problems as Brian showed). Anyway, I was just pointing out it wasn't related to the discussion at hand :)

Cheers,
