I'm using maven 3.2.5 and need to configure the default build path of maven.

HERE I found that the changes need to be made in pom.xml file.

I just can't find the pom.xml file. Can anyone please tell me the default location of pom.xml file?

By default pom.xml is at root path of the project, else the path is overridden via -f flag.

Also, be sure to have your project converted to a Maven Project:

Without this, there'll be no pom.xml file available at root path of the project.
