After further discussion, I approve this change as is.

The main fatal error in Arguments.processArguments() only calls Log.error if not verbose , so guarding it from having a timestamp when verbose is not an issue.

I agree - but I would rather then that Log.error() never show timestamp.

It would be better still if we could differentiate fatal error messages from warning messages - right now we are using Log.error for both.

Hi Andy,

Timestamps for error message without verbose output are meaningless in my opinion. This is why I did not add them. Also, in some cases output does not look right. For example when timestamp is added to error message always:
jpackage --someoption
WARNING: Using incubator modules: jdk.incubator.jpackage
[15:49:23.798] Error: Invalid Option: [--someoption]

In example above I do not see any point to have timestamp.

Thanks,

All looks good, except maybe Log.error().

I think Log.error() should have the same output whether verbose or not, adding timestamp to the message only if verbose does not look right.

Problem is that Log.error() is used for two fundamentally different purposes:

1.) by Main and Arguments to display the final error message when jpackage is failing.

2.) by everyone else to display a serious warning message when jpackage is continuing (sometimes failing further on, and sometimes not).

I wouldn't mind adding timestamps only when verbose in case (2), but I don't think that's appropriate for case (1).

Please review the jpackage fix for bug [1] at [2].

Added timestamp to verbose and test output in form of [HH:mm:ss.SSS].
