[jira] [Commented] (MCOMPILER-316) maven should *always* print classpath used to compile the java files

Robert Scholte commented on MCOMPILER-316:
------------------------------------------

Hmm, I really wonder why did would help. 
In fact, the downloading information is only done when required. In you run {{mvn verify}} (please no --mvn clean install--) for a second time Maven won't download anything.
Maven users are often not interested in the classpath/modulepath anymore, Maven dependency resolution is there for a long time and has become very stable.

What is the *real* reason to see the classpath? Maven != Makefile, I hope there's a better reason.

To me this is a bit too custom request, so here are some options:
- add the {{org.apache.maven.plugin.compiler}} to ${maven.home}/conf/logging/simplelogger.properties
- write your own EventSpy extension. It is not very well documented, but http://maven.apache.org/maven-jsr330.html is a start.

> mostly i use "{{maven clean install}}" to build my packages
> by default maven doesnt print the classpath used to compile java files. It should.
> it prints information like which jars it is downloading. thats fine.
> but it should *always* print the classpath used.
> there is a "-X" option which prints classpath , but it prints TONS and TONS of information which i think no one is interested in (except perhaps the maven developers)
> so there is no easy way to get the classpath used.
> Please make maven to print classpath for each java file compiled, by default.
> OR give a easy option to enable it along with other options.
