Send maven output to file

Question

On Windows 7, I am trying to send the output of a maven-3 command to a text file.

I call the command from the root of the project I am trying to analyze

Answer 1

Try mvn -help

 -l,--log-file <arg>  Log file to where all build output will go.                               

mvn <your parameters> --log-file log.txt

Answer 2

Just give it a try:

mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose -DoutputFile=resout.out

within the same folder where the pom file is located.

Answer 3

Old school, but it's what I knew. One caveat is that the mvn command does not return when done to the cli, but for some purposes this is acceptable.

mvn "-Dexec.args=-classpath %classpath com.mycompany.test" -Dexec.executable=/Downloads/jdk1.7/bin/java exec-maven-plugin:1.2.1:exec > /tmp/Out
