title: non readable POM {path} input contain no data
body: <p>I am new to Maven. I'm learning it using some books, and when I try to run this in PowerShell:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=net.sirirangan.packt.maven -DartifactId=MySampleApp
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs:
    [FATAL] Non-readable POM F:\tt\pom.xml: input contained no data</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Even if I execute this: <code>mvn help:effective-pom</code>,  I get the same error.
  What I did is created an empty <code>pom.xml</code> in <code>tt</code> folder and I went to that folder in PowerShell and executed the command.</p>
