Benjamin Bentmann commented on MNG-4055: ---------------------------------------- What exactly is wrong with the error? You have "a folder without maven's pom.xml file" and the errors says "Cannot execute mojo: resources. It requires a project with an existing pom.xml, but the build is not using one.", seems OK to me and appears to match Maven 2.x behavior as well. > wrong error on mvn install in folder without pom.xml > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-4055 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4055 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 3.0-alpha-2 > Reporter: Milos Kleint > Fix For: 3.0-alpha-5 > > > a folder without maven's pom.xml file. running mvn install there-> > [mkle...@localhost glassfish]$ ~/javatools/apache-maven-3.0-alpha-2/bin/mvn > install > [INFO] Scanning for projects... > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [INFO] Building Maven Default Project > [INFO] > [INFO] Id: org.apache.maven:super-pom:jar:3.0-SNAPSHOT > [INFO] task-segment: [install] > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [ERROR] > Internal error in the plugin manager executing goal > 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.2:resources': Cannot > execute mojo: resources.
