"Failed to parse benchmark configuration" error

For the record: I got "Failed to parse benchmark configuration" errors and it took some time to figure out why.

The cause was that I created a config directory in the root of the repository. This prevented the packaging script (mvn package) to add some other configuration files such as graphs.properties, granula.properties, etc. The solution is simply not to create this directory in the repository root.
