Hi everyone,
I�m looking to automate the build process for a project I�m working on.
I�ve decided to use maven because it seems like a nifty little tool and
I�m frankly a little sick of re-writing the same old ant build files.
I�ve hit a little snag though. Ideally, all of the build logic would live
inside my project�s maven.xml, but I can�t seem to figure out how to
enable logging. I know I could just pipe stdout to a file, but that seems
unclean to me somehow. I really want to do this from within maven, not
some shell script.
Looking in the FAQ, I saw a reference to enabling log4j but for the life
of me I can�t seem to be able to do this. I tried embedding a log4j
configuration script in a maven goal like so:
<project xmlns:maven="jelly:maven"
xmlns:j="jelly:core"
xmlns:u="jelly:util"
xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";>
<goal name="configure-logging">
<!-- Get the timestamp for the log file -->
<tstamp>
<format property="timestamp" pattern="yyyy.MM.dd-kk.mm.ss"/>
</tstamp>
<!-- Set up logging -->
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";>
<log4j:appender name="appender"
class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
<log4j:param name="File"
value="${log.dir}/nightly-build-${timestamp}.log"/>
</log4j:appender>
<log4j:root>
<log4j:priority value ="debug"/>
<log4j:appender-ref ref="appender"/>
</log4j:root>
</log4j:configuration>
</goal>
...
</project>
But maven just gives me a "Tag library requested that is not present:
'http://Jakarta.apache.org/log4j/'" error.
If someone knows of a way to dump maven's output to a timestamp-ed logfile
without using shell scripts, could you please tell me?
Thanks,
Dave
