Description
Some Maven projects use non-standard pom file names such as bom.xml and parent-pom.xml. Is it possible to add an override of the top-level filename to look for?
Contributor guide
Research direction
No source file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the Maven manifest discovery entry point and existing tests for pom.xml detection; trace how the top-level filename is selected. Done means a configurable override recognizes names such as bom.xml and parent-pom.xml without breaking the default.
