Maven: debug mode for only one plugin

Question

Is there a way to enable Maven debugging mode (-X) to get debugging information related only to the specific execution of the maven plugin?
Debug information for all maven steps is too large to store and parse.

Answer 1

You can configure logging on the command line using the information provided here:

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

Here is an example of setting the logging level to info for help only:

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

Hope this helps.
