>
> When using the "-f" switch and passing the name of a file which does not
> exist, Maven complains about pom.xml, not the alternate file name. For
> example, the command:
> mvn -f foo.xml install
> produces this error message:
> Cannot execute mojo: resources. It requires a project with an existing
> pom.xml, but the build is not using one.
> This error message is confusing and incorrect. Maven should instead report
> that the file "foo.xml" could not be loaded.
