Thanks guys.I ran
maven pom:validate and got the same error message, so I suspect theres something I'm
marking up in the XML.There is what my project.xml looks like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project>
<pomVersion>3</pomVersion>
<id>myapp</id>
<groupId>Sample-Maven-Project</groupId>
<currentVersion>2.0</currentVersion>
<name>Sample Maven Tutorial Project</name>

I must mention that I don't have any junit test classes , so maybe the
<unitTest>
<includes>
<include>**/Test*.java</include>
</includes>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*Test*All.java</exclude>
</excludes>
</unitTest>
shouldn't be there ?Or , does it really matter?Also
this : <distributionDirectory>/foobar/dist/${pom.artifactId}/</distributionDirectory>
doesn't really point to anything.What should ${pom.artifactId} be?
Thanx
