disable maven download progress indication

Question

In our company in the CI machines maven local repository is purged before every build. As result my build logs always have a bunch of noise like this

Downloading: http://.../artifactory/repo/com/codahale/metrics/metrics-core/3.0.1/metrics-core-3.0.1.jar

Is there an option I to be able to disable the download progress indication?

Answer 1

mvn -B .. or mvn --batch-mode ... will do the trick.

Update

• The documentation about batch mode see https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.6.1/maven-embedder/cli.html
• Starting with Maven 3.6.1 (released 2019-04-04) you can use --no-transfer-progress will suppress the output of downloading messages at all without suppressing the other output.
