location of pom.xml file

Question

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.

to have a `pom.xml` do we need to have a maven project created first. Donot we have a `pom.xml` file right after maven is installed. – Kasun Siyambalapitiya Jan 05 '17 at 07:21
Nope pom.xml has to be created along with the project structure. If you are using Maven archetype then that's a different story altogether. – Himanshu Bhardwaj Jan 05 '17 at 13:05

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.
