What should you do?
Solution
Change directories to where the correct pom.xml file is. You could try this command:
sudo find / -name pom.xml
Here is the content of a pom.xml file that could work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.acme</groupId>
<artifactId>run-amq</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.activemq.tooling</groupId>
<artifactId>activemq-perf-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>5.15.12</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
For future reference, here is a potential directory of the correct pom.xml file: /usr/local/apache-activemq/activemq-tooling/
