Piotr Zygielo commented on MNG-6268:
------------------------------------

How about changing this error/help message to something like
{quote}[ERROR] After correcting the problems, you can resume the build *by 
adding*

[ERROR]     -rf :example

[ERROR] to your command.
{quote}
with no reference to {{mvn}} itself. It would also cover the case of using 
{{mvnw}}.

> When a reactor build fails Maven should include -f (if used) in command line 
> suggestion

> [ERROR]   mvn <goals> -rf :example

> Unfortunately, when running {{mvn}} with {{-f}}, this suggestion is wrong; 
> Maven will either pick the wrong {{pom.xml}} or simply won’t find any; in 
> either case, the {{pom.xml}} specified with {{-f}} is *crucial* information 
> that was left out of the suggestion.
> FYI, this is related to MNG-6028, but covers a different bit of info that 
> IMHO should be part of the suggestion. Hence this separate issue.
