How to enable logging of plugin execution

2008-06-09 Thread Jon Seymour 
I am trying to enable log4j output in order to capture diagnostics
from the execution of a Maven plugin.

The execution environment is Maven 2.0.7, running under cygwin.

I do the following:

   export MAVEN_OPTS=-Dlog4j.configuration='c:\temp\log4j.properties'
   mvn clean install

However, I don't get any logging output from the maven build.

I searched the maven website and user archives for clues, but haven't found any.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello,

is it possible to use the plugin logging facility? You can call getLog()
in your mojo to get the plugin logger. It's not log4j (it's a plexus
logger) but it does pretty much the same.

I tried myself to get log4j and maven to work together, I'd be
interested if anyone else succeeds. 

Yours,

David Bernhard

Ah, debugging it revealed the issue - I needed to specify the
log4j.configuration as a URL, not a simple file name:

e.g.

-Dlog4j.configuration=file:///c:/temp/log4j.properties
