I think the suggestion by Greg to see about modifying the Maven batch
file so it drills up until it finds a pom.xml and then run your Maven
command against that pom is a very reasonable one.
I'm certain it would be welcomed functionality if you coded it up and
contributed it back! ;-)

Thanks Dan and Wayne for your responses. I'll figure something out for
myself, or look at how this would be added to Maven directly. I'm very much
an IDE style person, but i also dig into my code via a shell from time to
time and it is a pain to have to care about where i am when i want to build
the code. This was a real useful feature when i used Ant and something i
thought had become sudo-standard with tools like this.
