Warning : No pom file was found, assuming default settings!

Question

Hi,

I installed Maven 1, following the doc here http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/start/install.html

Installation was successful, then I typed in "maven site" as shown in the doc here maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/start/quick-start.html

I get the error "Warning : No pom file was found, assuming default settings!"

From what I understand, maven 1 does not have pom file. Why is it prompting to me that the pom file was not found?

Thanks

Answer 1

Since you're just starting out, may I suggest that you start over with the current, supported version of Maven. http://maven.apache.org/

Maven 1.x is obsoleted by Maven 2.2.x

Maven 1.x had a Project Object Model (POM) too, it was just not called pom.xml but project.xml.
