Based on these three use cases, either I'm using --dry-run incorrectly

--dry-run printing out usage info.
I assume the reason that your examples print the usage message is
because you haven't specified the main class (or `-jar` or `-m`).
If you try an example such as `java --dry-run -p <dir> -m <module>` it
will load the main class from the initial module and exit at that point
without invoking the main method.
