I don't want to discourage you from requesting a new feature, but I
thought I'd throw my 2 cents in about workarounds. I have an external tool
setup in eclipse to run mvn from the project root directory. I don't
typically navigate my project's folder structure from a shell. I suspect
you're a text editor only type to be doing a lot of that navigation
(nothing wrong with that). If I were in your shoes, I'd probably just
locally modify my mvn bat or shell script to keep stepping up the
directory tree until it finds a pom.xml before actually executing. It'd be
nice to attach that modification to the feature request.
