I notice that it used to be the case that -verbose dumped what I thought was
very interesting stuff: the system properties that ant saw (including the
classpath) and for each task, the logic it used to decide whether and what to
run. A lot of that seems to be gone now, presumably because it was *too*
verbose.
One of the advantages of some logging APIs is the ability to control the
verbosity level by category. Thus, we could say something like:
-verbose: javac,delete
to turn on verbose output for the javac and delete tasks only. Is that the
kind of thing now being contemplated? And would the suggestions of using
listeners allow for this? I would have expected the code to call the logging
API channels directly to get this kind of control.
