I have a maven multi-module setup, which includes the fabric8 plugin in a profile defined in a child module to build a Docker image if the profile is active, see below

Runing a normal build, i.e. mvn clean install -PDocker
completes successfully, but if I call one of the docker goals from the parent module directly, e.g. mvn -PDocker docker:help
it fails with this error
No plugin found for prefix 'docker' in the current project and in the plugin groups
Running the same command from the docker directory completes successfully.
What changes are needed so the command completes successfully in the root directory?
