Another option would be to move the "restricted" log4j.properties file into something like src/test/log4j and then add a system property to surefire configuration to pick it up from there. When running with maven, it would be used. When running in your IDE, it wouldn't be picked up and the default log4j stuff.
Another option MIGHT be to change to using slf4j-jdk14 instead of log4j in combination with the above. By default, the jul stuff doesn't really pick up a config file so in the IDE, you get INFO level and stuff printed. By passing in the properties file via maven surefire config, maven can use a more restricted one. This is somewhat what CXF does. (although CXF uses jul natively, but does use slf4j-jdk14 for the stuff that needs it) I definitely agree that when running in the IDE, I would like to see the logs on the console.
