Adding the following to pom.xml will cause project name to change to <Badly-formed Maven project>. Show and resolve problems says Unable to build project ...; It requires Maven version 3.0 <prerequisites> <maven>3.0</maven> </prerequisites> Tested in NetBeans 6.9 and NetBeans Dev 201007210001 Also tested with no external maven version and with external maven version set to 3.0-beta-1. Embedded Maven version shows 3.0-SNAPSHOT. I noticed this viewing source code for the Seam 3 open source project which is using Maven 3. However it easy to reproduce by creating new Maven Application using wizard and adding prerequisites to the pom.
NB 6.9 embeds M2, so it cannot read projects that require M3. The next major release is expected to embed M3.
Better to track as a duplicate of an open task. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 188871 ***
