MissingProjectException by Maven in Netbeans 7.x

When I try to either Build, Clean and Build or Run (play button) my 'Maven Webapplication' in NetBeans, I get the following output:

cd E:\Dev\Apps\2012_2013\MyApp; JAVA_HOME=E:\\Apps\\Dev\\jdk7u5 "\"E:\\Apps (x86)\\Dev\\NetBeans7.0.1\\java\\maven\\bin\\mvn.bat\"" install -e

Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.

This is what I have tried to fix the problem:

My projects used to build and run perfectly with no problems when I was using NetBeans 7.0.1, until I installed NetBeans 7.2. That's when I started getting this error. I do have a POM file in my project. The error doesn't go away no matter what I try.

Other strange behavior:

What works:

In my case the network was the problem. The firewall was blocking the connection and causing the issue.

I had the same problem when I started tomcat in maven (linux) and then it throw this tipsenter link description here

and then i find the problem you have to tell Maven explicitly where the POM to build resides like this: mvn -f path/to/pom.xml ...

I had the same problem when I set command promp default directory in the windows register to E:\ according: http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/77997-change-command-prompt-default-directory.html

After I deleted this regkey netbeans worked right for me.

It's a long shot but this worked for me:

I had the same problem, I got a new working station (with Windows 8 64bit). I tried to build my EJB and got the same exception you did.

I knew my projects dir was in the My Documents dir, I also knew that this dir was actually redirected to the server. This seemed to be the problem I have my projects somewhere local now and everything builds OK.
