[m2] Can I find out if debug mode is on?

["Edelson, Justin" <Ju...@mtvn.com>]

I'm writing a plugin that calls an external application that accepts a
"-verbose" command-line argument. I would like to be able to enable this
setting if -X has been specified on the maven 2 command line. I
recognize that debug and verbose are usually orthogonal, but in this
case they're not. I've got some other ideas, but those involve parsing
the output of the external app more than I would like.

Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Is this question better asked on the dev list?

Thanks
