Thanx guys.Well it was indeed the bracket that was messing up the typo.I ran 
maven pom:validate again and didn't get the NPE , but got the following instead :
build:start:
pom:verify-version:
pom:validate:
    [java] D:\Maven\Sample-Maven-Project\project.xml:5:14: error: cvc-complex-ty
pe.2.4.a: Invalid content starting with element 'groupId'. One of '{"":id}' is e
xpected.
    [java] [ERROR] Java Result: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 3 seconds
Finished at: Wed Aug 11 11:36:11 CAT 2004
 
What is this now?

should be
${basedir}/test
Notice the curly here --------------^
