Build specific module in multi-module project

I have a multi-module project.

I thought I can compile only a single module from that multi module project with this line:

mvn -amd -pl "module-name"

This does not seem to work, but only builds the specific module. Its dependencies are not compiled yet so it fails.

Any ideas how to solve that?

Try mvn -am -pl "module-name" instead (replace -amd with -am).

The -amd flag tries to build projects that depend upon "module-name" whereas -am builds projects that "module-name" depends upon. I feel that the documentation on those flags is a little counter-intuitive, but I'm pretty sure that this will fix your problem.
