>             Project: Maven
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Command Line
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.5
>         Environment: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
>            Reporter: Chris Hennick
>            Priority: Major

> I recently tried to run tests on only one specific module using this shell script:
> {code:sh}
> #!/bin/sh
> mvn jacoco:prepare-agent -pl betterrandom &&\
> mvn test -pl betterrandom &&\
> mvn jacoco:report -pl betterrandom &&\
> if [ "$TRAVIS" = "true" ]; then
>   mvn coveralls:report -pl betterrandom
> fi
> {code}
> It took me a long time to find out that the -pl <module> option needed to come *before* the goals it was to apply to. Since -pl <module> with no goals after it can't have any effect, it's almost certainly a sign that the command-line parameters are out of order. And since this is such an easy mistake to make when one's new to multi-module Maven projects, the invocation should raise a warning along the lines of "-pl <module> in this position has no effect. To filter a goal to a specific module, it must come *before* that goal on the command line. Did you mean mvn -pl <module> <goal...>?"
