Specify module(s) to compile via pom file in a Maven multi-module project

Question

Consider I have a Maven project with the following modules:

1. Multimodule (parent)
2. Webserver (simple web app)
3. Fullstack (simple web app that connects to a database)
4. Integration (runs rests against natively complied webserver and fullstack modules)

As I mentioned above, integration module is a module to test against natively complied webserver and fullstack modules. So it doesn't have a main class but it has a bunch of test classes that run http endpoints tests against the natively compiled modules.

From my research, I know I can specify the modules to compile via Maven command --projects. Also from Maven documentation, if you scroll down to Profiles I can specify the modules to compile directly in the chosen profile. My root pom profile.

<profiles>
        <profile>
            <id>integration-test</id>
            <modules>
                <module>webserver</module>
                <module>fullstack</module>
            </modules>

            <build>
                <plugins>
                    <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                        <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                    </plugin>
                </plugins>
            </build>
        </profile>
    </profiles>

I noticed every time I compile in integration-test profile using the command mvn clean -Pintegration-test -DskipTests native:compile, integration modules is also compiled.

                </plugins>
            </build>
        </profile>
    </profiles>

</project>

When I run mvn clean -Pintegration-test -DskipTests install or mvn clean -Pintegration-test -DskipTests native:compile, all the modules are compiled:
