[MCOMPILER-407] Feature request: In debug mode, print full output of javac (including stdout)
Manu Sridharan opened MCOMPILER-407 and commented
Certain javac annotation processors and plugins like The Checker Framework sometimes print useful diagnostics on stdout. Currently, there is no way to see this output using the Maven Compiler Plugin, even when Maven is run with the -X option. I suggest that when Maven is in debug mode, the plugin should show as a debug message the full stdout of javac. This should also work if javac is forked.
If someone points me at the relevant code, I am happy to try to submit a pull request for this change.
Affects: 3.8.1

That's handled per compiler in https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/plexus-compiler

Thanks Robert Scholte! Are you then suggesting I should report an issue on that GitHub repo rather than here?
Robert Scholte commented
It should be fixed there. Next we can upgrade those dependencies here, so I don't mind leaving this ticket open.
