Incorrect/misleading error message when typo in module section
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4617
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4617
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Command Line
Affects Versions: 3.0-alpha-7
Reporter: Max Andersen
I have a module in a folder called "tests"
In the parent folder I put a pom with:
<module>test</module>
i.e. the folder name does not actually exist and the error received is:
[ERROR] The build could not read 1 project -> [Help 1]
[ERROR] The project
(/Users/max/Documents/code/jbosstools/modular_build/test) has 1 error
[ERROR] Non-parseable POM
/Users/max/Documents/code/jbosstools/modular_build/test: only whitespace
content allowed before start tag and not [ (position: START_DOCUMENT seen [...
@1:1) -> [Help 2]
[ERROR]
[ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e
switch.
[ERROR] Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.
[ERROR]
[ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please
read the following articles:
[ERROR] [Help 1]

[ERROR] [Help 2]

I would say it would make better sense to check if the file actually exists and
report the file as not there instead of a parse error which send me on to a
hunt for a typo in tests/pom.xml (since I didn't spot the missing 's' for a
while :)
