Description

At the root of a large multi-module project (eg, Redback), run:

mvn help:describe -Dplugin=surefire

The output is lost among the scanning + summary, even though it will only ever affect one project.

In a scenario like this, I think the reach summary should be reduced to:

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Reactor Summary:
[INFO] 
[INFO] Redback ........................................... SUCCESS [5.922s]
[INFO]         Sub-modules not executed
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Total time: 11.777s
[INFO] Finished at: Sun Sep 19 10:35:40 PDT 2010
[INFO] Final Memory: 15M/81M
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

And potentially reduce the start to (though I'm not sure if it's known at the point it's shown):

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Reactor Build Order:
[INFO] 
[INFO] Redback
[INFO] (Sub-modules will not be executed)
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
