org.apache.maven.reactor.MavenExecutionException: Could not find the model file

[Srimoyee Misra]

Hi,

I am trying to create a EAR file instead of a WAR file and I have been able to create my EAR file but when I try to build the EAR file using Maven, I get the following error :

org.apache.maven.reactor.MavenExecutionException: Could not find the model file 'C:\Dev\EARProject\core'. for project unknown
at org.apache.maven.DefaultMaven.getProjects(DefaultMaven.java:404)

Please guide me about why it should be happening.

Thanks

What version of Maven are you running and what Maven command are you running?

In every module or project in the workspace make sure the <artifactId> and the <name> element in the pom.xml contain the same entries. In this example below it is ad-common. With this it should work.

<artifactId>ad-common</artifactId>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<name>ad-common</name>

Please post the pom.xml to the EAR project. My guess is that you have a <modules> entry that reference <module>code</module>, but either there is no core directory or there is no core/pom.xml.
