Description

In http://hbase.apache.org/book/hbase.tests.html, it is mentioned that using

mvn clean test -Dtest=TestShell -Dshell.test=AdminAlterTableTest

will help us in running specific shell tests. But it doesn't work unless we use package as target and ruby literal equivalent. So, it should have been

mvn clean package -Dtest=TestShell -Dshell.test=/AdminAlterTableTest/

Thanks, busbey for helping me in digging this out.
