Maven uses standard slf4j logging, wrapped in a plexus container. https://maven.apache.org/maven-logging.html

You should be able to configure the slf4j bindings to provide different output formats as detailed here http://logback.qos.ch/manual/layouts.html#log4jXMLLayout

I'm not familiar with the cleanlines and json logging formats; however, slf4j is probably one of the more adaptable logging packages, so look around for a Formatter and you have a chance at finding one. However, if you don't the last link above also covers the pages on how to write your own logging layout.
