A plugin that doesn't require a pom.xml
How do I create a plugin that doesn't require a pom.xml?
Even the hello world described on this page requires it:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/plugin/guide-java-plugin-development.html
You get this error if you try to run it where no pom.xml is present.
[INFO] Cannot execute mojo: sayhi. It requires a project with an
existing pom.xml, but the build is not using one.
Surely it must be possible. "mvn help:help" is an example of one that
it lets me run from anywhere.
Thanks,
Phillip

Thanks! Adding @requiresProject false worked like a charm!

I've taken a look at the source of the help:describe goal and it seems
you need RequireProject.
