Maven: Debug mode only for one plugin

Question

Is there a way to enable Maven debug mode (-X) in order to get debug info which is related only to concrete execution of a maven plugin?
Debug info for all maven steps are too huge to keep and analyze it.

Answer 1

You can set up logging on the command line using info given here:

• https://maven.apache.org/maven-logging.html

Here's an example of setting logging level to info for help plugin only:

mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.version -q -Dorg.slf4j.simpleLogger.log.org.apache.maven.plugins.help=info

Hope this helps.
