Brett Porter updated MNG-3779:
------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.0.11
> Improve error message when trying to execute moojo with no pom.xml
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-3779
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3779
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Errors, Logging
> Affects Versions: 2.0.9, 2.1.0-M1
> Reporter: Samuel Le Berrigaud
> Fix For: 2.0.11
>
>
> I've seen many users on the mailing lists or in my company who get this error
> message:
> bq. Cannot execute mojo: resources. It requires a project with an existing
> pom.xml, but the build is not using one.
> Most often than not they do not understand what the cause of the problem is.
> Most often that not this is simply because they are 1 directory up or down
> relatively to the directory that contains the pom.xml of the project they
> want to build.
> I suggest that the error message should be updated to something like:
> bq. Cannot execute mojo "bla". Maven was executed in directory "foo" and it
> doesn't contain a {{pom.xml}}
> Moreover, maven should look 1 directory up and 1 directory down from the
> {{basedir}} for {{pom.xml}} files. And if one is detected suggest the user to
> move to that directory.
