I developed a simple Maven Event Spy. Simply drop the:
https://github.com/sandipchitale/m2e-phasesandgoals/tree/master/org.eclipse.m2e.core.ui.phasesandgoals/mavenbuildspy
into your maven installation's lib/ext folder and run your Maven build and
you will see:
The basic idea is to show the Start, Success and Failure events of
Projects and Goals (Mojos).
I am using it in the context of:
https://github.com/sandipchitale/m2e-phasesandgoals/blob/master/README.md
You can install the Eclipse plugin here:

Feedback welcome.
Enjoy.
Cheers,
Sandip
