Maven Custom Logging

This is a maven extension that allows some customization of the maven console output.

Features

There are 4 different ways for you to supply a custom configuration file:

supply this system property custom.logging.configuration at the commandline, with a value pointing to your config file
supply the environment variable MAVEN_CUSTOM_LOGGING_CONFIG and put the path to your config file as it's value
put config file maven-custom-logging.yml in your $MAVEN_HOME/conf directory
put config file maven-custom-logging.yml in your $HOME directory

Lines I am attempting to color are not being colored?
- This can be caused by your regex pattern being incorrect
- This can be caused by a maven plugin that is running in your build decided to not use Maven's Logger
- This can be caused by a maven plugin that has switched out the System.out to a different instance (ie. maven-surefire-plugin)
- This can be caused by the output being sent to a file
What colors/options are available for the render configuration?
- Colors and Options available are here
- Examples of render syntax is here
How can I see phases of the filtering of the log lines?
- If you specify the -Dcustom.logging.debug switch at the commandline this will put custom logging into debug mode and A LOT of information will be printed.
- This will show the before and after of each log line we filtered
How can I temporary shutoff the log filtering?
- Just supply custom.logging.off system property and you should see all the original maven output
