The goal you specified requires a project to execute but there is no POM in this directory (/tmp/maven). Please verify you invoked Maven from the correct directory.

Hi All,
I was working in the building the maven based project using maven-scm-jazz provider and maven-release plugin.

I was able to run the prepare statement. And able to get the release.properties.

When I try to execute the mvn release:perform -DworkingDirectory=/tmp/maven.

I m able to check out the files from the jazz server to the working directory.
and on the next phase it is getting the below Issue.

Question 1)
Do we want any change in the POM.XML
Question 2)
Do we want to mention the POM.XML name explicitly in the perform command?
Question 3)
Do we want to add any other plugins in the pom.xml?

And also I would like to get any help for all to solve the issue.

Thanks a lot in advance. I  looking for all the helps...
