already fixed differently in CVS for 1.0 branch (UnknownGoalException "cli").

BTW, I'm not sure the patch was valid, because "No project.xml found" is not correct, the problem really is that the goal doesn't exist. But thanks for the attempt - it is appreciated.

Environment: Windows 98SE with patched maven.bat to allow it to work on Win98 (See Maven-942)

Description:
I was trying to invoke "maven console" in a directory that did not have a project.xml file. But, I couldn't remember the command so I accidently typed "maven cli" instead. This is of course not a valid command, but instead of getting an informative message about cli being an unknown goal I was greeted with a NullPointerException:

C:\>maven cli
