-------------------------------------------
With latest Maven, output is simpler:

> Key: MNG-6060
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6060
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Command Line, Errors, POM, Reactor and workspace
> Affects Versions: 3.3.9
> Environment: Linux 4.6.2 with Oracle JDK 8
> Reporter: Gregor B. Rosenauer
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: maven
>
> when building a multi-module project with -rf and the project is not found,
> Maven explodes all over your face and prints the *entire* POM instead of just
> pointing out the missing project - it does, but hides it before the POM dump
> so the info is easily lost:
> {{[ERROR] [ERROR] Could not find project to resume reactor build from:
> :missing-in-action vs [MavenProject: (entire POM dumped here)}}
> Good old make would just tell you this precise and helpful message, instead
> of dumping the entire makefile:
> {{make: *** No rule to make target 'some-nonexisting-target'. Stop.}}
> Please make maven a bit more user friendly when reporting errors...
