Mark Michaelis commented on MNG-519:
------------------------------------
I am quite satisfied with the [shell script|https://gist.github.com/993139] I
am using. Unfortunately it works only on Linux -- maybe with Cygwin, too:
{code}
#!/bin/bash
#
# Prepends a date string in front of the Maven output.
# A workaround for http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-519 "Timestamps on
messages"
[ -z "${AWK}" ] && AWK="$(which gawk 2>/dev/null)" || AWK="$(which awk
2>/dev/null)" || { echo "Error: Could not find AWK tool."; exit 1; }
"${AWK}" 'BEGIN { print strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"); }' 2>&1 > /dev/null || {
echo "Error: your AWK version does not support strftime() function." && exit 1;
}
mvn "${@}" 2>&1 |"${AWK}" '{ print strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"), $0; fflush();
}'
# see comp.unix.shell FAQ: (http://cfajohnson.com/shell/cus-faq-2.html)
# "How do I get the exit code of cmd1 in cmd1|cmd2"
exit ${PIPESTATUS[0]}

> Timestamps on messages
> ----------------------
>
> Key: MNG-519
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-519
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Logging, Plugins and Lifecycle
> Reporter: Jeff Jensen
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.x / Backlog
>
>
> With current and/or moving forward with M2, I would like an option for
> timestamped messages.
> We have a somewhat long nightly process. I regularly wish for timestamps on
> the log messages from the Maven build. The two primary reasons for this are
> duration calculation - how long did something take, and an occasional
> correlation with an outside event.
