Description

One of the options I find useful in Ant is '-logfile <filename>', which redirects the build's output to a given file. It would be nice if I could do the same with Maven; I've not had much success trying to use Win98's command line redirection or paging on Maven's output.

This looks to be a better report, and will ultimately encompass the maven-126 solution

I've added a couple of quick patches that you could add to give Maven the ability to get more useful information from Ant. If you want to emulate Ant's verbose mode, add the following properties (if you're using Windows use org.apache.tools.ant.DefaultLogger instead):

maven.build.listener = org.apache.tools.ant.listener.AnsiColorLogger
maven.build.logger.level = 5

This way Maven can now support verbose ant logging (which is a very important debugging feature). I'm willing to put some more work into the logging patches, but I wanted to try to get them in so this feature can make the 1.0 release and so I could get some feedback.

I cleaned up the earlier patches I submitted. It made more sense to me for these properties to be called maven.ant.listener and maven.ant.logger.level as not to confuse users that they were setting listeners for maven itself. I also updated the documentation for the new attributes.

Arnaud: couldn't this patch be used to workaround our velocity problem, ie switching off the ant logging?

I didn't try. I'll try to find if we can configure the internal logging verbosity used in log4J.
