Hi Maven (Core) maintainers, Currently the download progress for dependencies/plugins is displayed by default : ----------------------------------- Downloading: http://.../repository/org/foo/bar/x.y.z/bar-x.y.z.jar
4/2122 KB 8/2122 KB ----------------------------------- The common fix is to use *batch-mode* option (MNG-5486 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5486>, disable maven download progress indication <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21638697/disable-maven-download-progress-indication> ). This configuration is perfect for CI usage, but has a (little) impact for *human* execution ... for example on Maven Archetypes (even if usable with -D parameters). However I feel that many people (like me) generalise -B option (in *mvn.cmd* /*mvn.sh, ...*) avoiding some kilometer of logs in a daily use. This is perverse about the concept, and could do losing the great "future" feature about logs colorization (MNG-3507 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-3507>) because disabled in batch-mode <https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/master/maven-embedder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/cli/MavenCli.java#L480> . A good consensus (IMO) could be *activate the download progression only if debug mode (-X) is enabled*. Because the download information displayed in *batch-mode* option is enough for a "default execution": ----------------------------------- [INFO] Downloading: http://.../repository/org/foo/bar/x.y.z/bar-x.y.z.jar [INFO] Downloaded: http://.../repository/org/foo/bar/x.y.z/bar-x.y.z.jar (xx kB at yy kB/s) ----------------------------------- I could try providing a PR (using MNG-5486 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5486> or new JIRA ?), but I would have an acceptance (or not ^^) on this idea. Thanks in advance. Best regards. -- Alix Lourme
