Validating the pom

[Mike Bowler]

Using a build of maven pulled from cvs yesterday.

I'm trying to figure out how to validate my project.xml file. There is a maven-project.xsd schema file in the maven sources so I'm assuming it's just a matter of figuring out how to get maven to use this schema.

Looking at the goals in maven, I see the following possibilities

[codeswitcher] ( NO DEFAULT GOAL )
init ....................... Validate the Maven XML project descriptor

[pom] : Validate the Maven XML project descriptor
validate ................... Validate the Maven XML project descriptor

[validate-pom-for-release] : null

I deliberately put a mistake in my project.xml file to see if schema validation is actually being done. The codeswitcher and valide-pom-for-release goals just return without doing anything. The pom:validate target dumps this one line to the console:

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

I couldn't find a stack trace for this in either maven.log or velocity.log (the two logs created during the maven run)

So my questions are:

1) How are you supposed to trigger schema validation of project.xml?

2) Where would you expect to find the stack trace when the console says there was an exception?
