Hello, since Maven 3.1 the simple logger properties are a convinient method to switch on (millisecond) relative time stamps in Maven.
I enjoy this on the console as it does not take much room and allows to see potential for optimizing. This is done by switching on the timestamps (the empty default format is printing them as relative millis): org.slf4j.simpleLogger.showDateTime=true However I want this feature in Jenkins as well. There I have the problem that when using the automatic maven deploy which downloads a selected version from maven site and unpacks it (which is convinient to roll it out to the slaves) then I have no hook for making the required config file modification. I have also tried using the above property as a system property, but it does not seem to work. Jenkins can manage and distribute settings.xml but it seems to have no grab on the simplelogger.properties. Any idea how to solve that cleanly? Gruss Bernd
