 If your project includes RAD tiles, you can start the application with the following command.
 
 ```sh
-mvn -Drad process-classes
+mvn -Drad process-test-classes
 ```
 
 To stop RAD and remove the Docker containers, you will need to do it through Docker commands.  This will differ between operating systems.  The Maven Archetypes provides scripts to assist with these operations called `rad.sh` or `rad.ps1`.
