Send maven output to file
MavenWindows 7DependenciesMaven PluginMaven 3Maven Problem Overview
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.
The command is:
mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose -Dincludes=commons-collections -DoutputFile=C:\Users\myname\Documents\output.txt
When I run the command without the outputFile parameter, I see the output sent to the console.
But when I use it with the outputFile parameter, the output file is empty.
Any idea what I am missing here?

Solution 1 - Maven
Try mvn -help
-l,--log-file <arg> Log file to where all build output will go.
mvn <your parameters> --log-file log.txt
Solution 2 - Maven
Just give it a try:
mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose -DoutputFile=resout.out
within the same folder where the pom file is located.
Solution 3 - Maven
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
