each plugin developer does his own choices, based on his feeling of needs: it's not a Maven core plugin
long copy paste of output, but not even the useful part to know what plugin:goal it is about once we know the plugin, having a discussion with the plugin maintainer can make sense (please with respect, and not accusation of junk) Regards, Hervé On 2026/10/04 12:41:48 Romain Manni-Bucau wrote: > Hi Martin, > > There is the common hack to fill these info manually like in any facade but > agree it would have been simpler but not sure we want to be back in 2022 > (for a recent one "Logging in Maven Plugins - Bridging") or even ~2015. > > That said it doesn't solve all issues like conflicts with mojos (same for > all mainstream API) so current option is not that bad and avoids the debate > of the backend to use. > > The main issue with JUL is you need to switch the "backend" very quickly to > be relevant (one reason we did Yupiik Logging Manager - > https://www.yupiik.io/yupiik-logging/jul-integration.html) or do some > custom integration to be as powerful than other cause defaults are not very > friendly to integration or prod (even file handler is too limited and is > slow). > With SLF4J the good thing is you can switch jars and get it all almost for > free but it has cons and we don't want to leak our impl as an API so MOJO > logging facade was the compromise since JUL as an API was rejected - > System.Logger would have been the same if it was an option in early > discussions. > > So lon story short, JUL is a better API, sure, but will need a custom > backend by default anyway.
