One thing that I like about Eclipse is that it contains a log file to capture the unexpected warning or error. These warnings or errors may not kill the program but at least I can peer inside to see what's going on.
With regard to MNG-5626, it makes me wonder should Maven have a default logging location. There are situations that shouldn't kill a build (like negative build times) but are extraordinary enough that they should be dumped to a log file for studying. I think plugins should have the ability to do such things for the sake of diagnosing out unfavorable conditions/bugs in the code. BTW, this is a different feature than debug info and stack traces. I don't want to bug the user with more on their screen. I just want normal builds to run like they do except introduce a warning log. Thoughts? Cheers, Paul
