----------------------------------------------------------------

I see the issue now.  

On Windows 10, the mvn --file command seems to work with the following 
invocation styles:
 * mvn --file /path/to/pom.xml ...
 * mvn --file=/path/to/pom.xml ...

On Linux (e.g., in the official Docker container), the mvn --file command only 
works for the following invocation style:
 * mvn --file /path/to/pom.xml 

>From running mvn {{--help}}, it's not clear to me that --arg=value is intended

>command line options.  The reason for this difference has to do with Windows 
>CMD scripting behavior--not an intentional effort to support the 
>--file=/path/to/pom.xml syntax.

If the --file=/path/to/pom.xml syntax is supposed to be supported, the "mvn" 
shell script will require more work to detect both the --file /path/to/pom.xml 
and --file=/path/to/pom.xml usages.  

NOTE: To my knowledge, there is no way to change the Windows behavior of 
supporting both arguments styles for arguments processed in the shell script 
(most Maven arguments are processed in Java).

> The {{.mvn}} directory is not picked up when using the {{--file}} switch to 
> build a project from outside of the multi-module root.
> Example:
> * the module root is {{/foo/bar}}
> * {{.mvn}} is located at {{/foo/bar/.mvn}}
> * current directory is {{/foo}}
> * Maven is invoked with {{mvn --file bar/module/pom.xml}}
> I would expect the {{.mvn}} directory detection to start at the directory of 
> the POM selected by {{--file}} and then go through the parent directories.
