Shawn WebbI really dislike how #Maven outputs text during a build. Gonna be extremely difficult to automate my next task because Maven's output is definitely not even meant for human eyes, let alone machine.
Doofus Canadensis@lattera it can be very chatty, yes. istr you can trim that down to bare minimums, though.
@doofus_canadensis it's less about how verbose it can be, and more about how the crucial bits of data are split across multiple lines of output.
I'm mainly checking a large project for outdated dependencies via mvn versions:display-dependency-updates.
There's hundreds of dependencies in this project, so sifting through the results one-by-one by hand would be prohibitively painful.
And it's looking like trying to automate this will be even more painful due to how crappy quality the output is.
@lattera ah yes... I know somebody who did that not too long ago. I no longer have access to what he wrote, though.
