--------------------------------------------------------------
So, I decided to be a good citizen and make a test project, and in my test
project, I'm seeing the desired output. I'm unclear on why I wasn't earlier.
I'll do some more research and update this as soon as I know more. In the
meantime, please don't close as Can't Reproduce or whatever. Thanks! :)

> StackOverflowError from javac is not reflected in output
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MCOMPILER-325
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-325
> Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.7.0
> Reporter: Jake Robb
> Priority: Minor
>
> Context:
> [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48775213/maven-compilation-error-without-any-errors-from-the-compiler]
> If the Java code being compiled contains a chain of method calls that is too
> long to fit in javac's stack, javac will throw a StackOverflowError and exit.
> The resulting output indicates that javac errored, but does not show the SOE,
> nor which source file caused it. (It'd be nice if it actually pointed out the
> problem, but that's on javac, not on the Maven plugin.)
> For more recent versions of the plugin, if {{verbose=true}}, the plugin
> output includes the files being compiled as they go, and so the last file
> output is helpful, but it still doesn't indicate what went wrong. -X and -e
> args to Maven are also not helpful.
> In my case, the failure occurred using default settings for stack size (I
> think it's 1MB) when compiling a test case that chained together 673 builder
> methods, e.g.
> {code:java}
> return new
> MyBuilder().foo(a1).foo(a2).foo(...).foo(a672).foo(a673).build();{code}
> I assume this problem is not unique to StackOverflowErrors and would affect
> any thrown Error from javac.
> The plugin should be updated to capture javac's error output and include it
> when applicable.
