Imagine you are frustrated by one of the maven plugin and you want to turn the debug output on. Google debugging a maven plugin or maven debug output and you may still be out of luck. Here is the brute force way of doing it.Open MAVEN_HOME/core/plexus-container-default-1.0-alpha-9.jar and edit org/codehaus/plexus/plexus-bootstrap.xml to set threshold to debug.
