I'm a bit on the fence on this change. Since it requires all scenarios to have a pom.xml, which we don't always have, and normally we have a reasonable fallback there.

And what if some this code is used during construction of a REPL, than rascal should flow from the classpath of the REPL. So I'm not sure if we should make this an error at this level?

What are for example the effects of this change for:

• REPL startup in a project without a pom.xml
• REPL startup in a directory without a rascal project
• typechecking a project in VS Code that doesn't have a pom.xml

REPL startup in a directory without a rascal project

In this case, since path configs are only meant for source projects, I think a path config should not be built at all. So this error should not show.

a project without a pom.xml

Since this will result in an empty class path, it will raise the error. We could of course check if a POM exists and only show it in that case. Or we lower the level of the diagnostic to a warning, since indeed, we have reasonable default values for Rascal and Rascal LSP in case they are missing from the POM.
