windows 7- build error - on install
I get the following error when tying to install Maven on Windows 7
I have Java installed and am now trying to install Maven.
C:\Users\user\Documents\apache-maven-2.2.1\bin>mvn clean install
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Building Maven Default Project
[INFO] task-segment: [clean, install]
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Cannot execute mojo: clean. It requires a project with an existing pom.xml, but the build is not using one.
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
How can I resolve this error?
Where should the pom.xml file be located?
Should the pom.xml be generated on the binary extraction or during the install?
thanks,
Ed
