Editor/Viewer to display and analyze Maven logs?

Question

I use Maven for building Java projects. The output of Maven has immense size. Is there an editor or log viewer that makes analyzing logs easier?

Answer 1

less is your friend. You can also tee the output to some file and view that with your favorite editor.

mvn clean package | less
# or
mvn clean package | tee mvn.log
less mvn.log # using less as editor.
