Description

When a reactor build fails, Maven prints out a helpful suggestion on how to resume.

[ERROR] After correcting the problems, you can resume the build with the command
[ERROR]   mvn <goals> -rf :example

Unfortunately, when running mvn with -f, this suggestion is wrong; Maven will either pick the wrong pom.xml or simply won’t find any; in either case, the pom.xml specified with -f is crucial information that was left out of the suggestion.

FYI, this is related to MNG-6028, but covers a different bit of info that IMHO should be part of the suggestion. Hence this separate issue.
