Failed to read ${projectPom}

Error message

Failed to read ${projectPom}

What it means

RuntimeException from MavenProjectBuildFile.refreshData: re-reading the project's pom.xml after a modification failed with an IOException (the pom path is interpolated into the message). This is a wrapper guard around MojoUtils.readPom; the file at that path is unreadable or the XML is broken after the edit.

Solutions

1. Check the pom.xml at the reported path is readable and well-formed
2. Fix or restore the pom if a previous edit corrupted it
