It looks to my naive eyes like the logger that is responsible for printing out the various [INFO] messages to the command line during a Maven run is hard coded. Perhaps--hopefully--I'm wrong.
Is there a way to replace this logger as the first action during a build, so that Maven's logger shunts through java.util.logging, for example? Via build extensions, maybe? (For that matter, is there any documentation anywhere on what a build extension *is*? I understand that a build extension is a piece of code that is loaded into the Maven classloader, and that it can {handwave handwave} affect the build, but does it need to implement any interface? Extend from a class? The "documentation" on build extensions, http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-using-extensions.html, is comical.) Thanks, Laird
