Executing Ready API composite project via maven

Hi,

I'm attempting to run a ready api composite project (2.3.0) using soap-maven plugin (4.6.4) and will result in a no protocol exception error.

I modified the pom.xml file to have the following:

<projectFile>${project.build.directory}/${soapuixml}-soapui-project</projectFile>
<outputFolder>${project.build.directory}/surefire-reports</outputFolder>
<reportFormat>HTML</reportFormat>
<testSuite>${project.build.directory}/${soapuixml}-soapui-project/${testSuite}</testSuite>

Should the project be referencing an actual file like the settings.xml file?

or should I reference the project file as ${soapui}-soapui-project?

Both fail and return failed to load SOAPUI project file. Reason being that the soapui project file does not exist as such in the composite project.
