title: Maven Unrecognised Tag: 'executions'
body: <p>The problem is simple. I added <code>&lt;executions&gt;&lt;/executions&gt;</code> tag in my pom.xml, however I got the below error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  [ERROR] FATAL ERROR
  [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  [INFO] Error building POM (may not be this project's POM).
  
  
  Project ID: MyProject
  POM Location: MyPOM
  
  Reason: Parse error reading POM. Reason: Unrecognised tag: 'executions' (position: START_TAG seen ...&lt;/version&gt;  \t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t    &lt;executions&gt;... @2014:23)
  for project MyProject
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>May it be caused by the version of Maven that I use? My Maven version is 2.1.0. I couldn't find when "executions" tag have been implemented. Without the "executions" tag everything is OK and I tried a few examples of code from the web but didn't work either. Any ideas?</p>
