It is not easy to recognise when a goal is complete and control has been returned to the user. The current output when a goal completes is as follows: [...] war:webapp: [echo] Assembling webapp PROJECT PROJECT 1.0 > [war:webapp] _ Could this be spaced out slightly with some feedback on goal completion, similar to the output maven provides on non-console builds please? Something like the following would be great: [...] war:webapp: [echo] Assembling webapp PROJECT BUILD SUCESSFUL Goal time: 12 seconds PROJECT 1.0 > [war:webapp] _
