Some people started reading these after Log4Shell. On StackOverflow questions like "Why is Maven downloading ...?"[1] If I might add my 2 cents, the right amount of logging should: 1. allow people with 56 Kbps connections to understand why the build is taking ages, 2. inform the other users (that set -ntp), what does Maven download and why. The second case could have logs like: Downloading plugin dependencies: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.11.0, org.apache.maven.shared:maven.shared.utils:3.3.4, ... Downloading compile dependencies: org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-api:2.20.0, ... Not sure if this should be at INFO or DEBUG level: during a CI build this info is important to understand whether a fresh snapshot was downloaded from a remote repo or the one installed locally (e.g. in the previous step) is being used.
