Can Maven be made less verbose?

Question

I'm sometimes forced to use Maven (eww). It spews out far too many lines of output to my taste (I like the Unix way: no news is good news). The lines I want to get rid of are marked [INFO], but I couldn't find any mention of an argument or config settings that controls the verbosity of Maven. Is there no LOG4J-like way to set the log level?

Answer 1

You can try the switch -q.

-q,--quiet Quiet output - only show errors

Answer 2

Use the -q or --quiet command-line options
