Maven goals should be able to run ignoring a pom.xml even if its present. In my custom made plugin, I want to ignore the pom file. Tried to use @requiresProject false, this ran fine if there is no pom, but if a pom file is available it uses it. Can someone please add a feature to ignore the pom even if its there. maybe like @ignoreProject or something like that. This change looks pretty simple and this issue is blocking our development.
