Configure logging for Jetty's maven plugin?

Question

I\'m invoking the \"jetty:run\" goal with the following plugin configuration:

  org.mortbay.jetty
  

        

Answer 1

Extending Gili's answer a bit; using the properties-maven-plugin is a convenient way to set system properties instead of having to specify them on the command line. I provide examples for both logback and log4j. Add this plugin block to your pom.xml in addition to the jetty-maven-plugin configuration in Gili's answer.

Logback:

  org.codehaus.mojo
  properties-maven-plugin
  1.0-alpha-2
  
    
      
        set-system-properties
      
      
        
          
          
            org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.IGNORED
            true
          
          
          
            logback.configurationFile
            /path/to/logback.xml
          
        
      
    
  

Log4j:

  org.codehaus.mojo
  properties-maven-plugin
  1.0-alpha-2
  
    
      
        set-system-properties
      
      
        
          
          
            org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.IGNORED
            true
          
          
          
            log4j.configuration
            file:./src/main/resources/log4j.properties
          
          
          
        
      
    
  

Also for log4j, naturally use the following dependency for the jetty-maven-plugin instead of logback-classic:

  org.mortbay.jetty
  jetty-maven-plugin
  ...
  
    
      org.slf4j
      slf4j-log4j12
      1.6.4
