> So, while I partially understand this request, I consider it ill-designed. Treating the stdout/stderr as `@argfiles` or Javadoc produce feels wrong. This is just yet another convenience output just like in other plugins to write to a file. > > Your request is similar to https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/list-mojo.html#outputFile or what other plugins do. Thanks for the feedback, I can get this changed to more closely follow the design used by `maven-dependency-plugin` if you see that as the best direction forward. Using `outputFile` to redirect the output instead of `@errors`, and changing outputing to file from being an additional output target to the only output target as right now `@errors` is an additional output in comparison to `outputFile` which is a redirection of output. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
