Does this seem stupid to anyone else? I mean, the log files are there to
analyze maven when things go wrong, they aren't specific to the project
- so why should they end up in the project directory? ~/.maven would
make more sense, I'd think. And they shouldn't have *anything* unless
something does go wrong (or if I ask for a higher-than-normal level of
verbosity).
