Description

**[Elliotte Rusty Harold](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=elharo)** opened **[MNG-8155](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8155?redirect=false)** and commented

Saw this error message. This confused me and I did not initially know what it meant. In fact, I guessed wrong.

[INFO] Skipping presto-prism-plugin
[INFO] This project has been banned from the build due to previous failures.

I suggest rephrasing along the lines of "Module name was not built because the module module-name it depends on failed to build."

Research direction

Start by locating the Maven core build output that emits “This project has been banned from the build due to previous failures.” Confirm how the failed dependency and current module names are available, then update the wording to explain that relationship and verify the resulting build output.
