Why is my logging output getting swallowed running tasks?

[Steve Maring]

When I run "mvn compiler:testCompile" at a command line for my project, I see errors:

C:\...>mvn compiler:testCompile

[INFO] Scanning for projects...

...

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

[INFO] Building Personal Experience Portal

[INFO] task-segment: [compiler:testCompile]

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

[INFO] [compiler:testCompile {execution: default-cli}]

[INFO] Compiling 673 source files to C:\...\test-classes

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

[INFO] Compilation failure

C:\....\VacationContainer.java:[540,15] cannot find symbol

symbol : variable LINK_LOCATOR

location: class page.helper....VacationContainer

However, when I do the same thing as a Maven task in a stage, I get no logging output ...

03-Feb-2012 09:49:38	Starting task 'Maven 2.x'

03-Feb-2012 09:49:39	Finished task 'Maven 2.x'

I also tried a <javac> from within an Ant task, and I get the same problem ... I only see "Failing task since return code was -1 while expected 0"

[Steve Maring]

the -1 would seem to mean that the command itself was unable to execute ... in this case because the directory path to the pom.xml was wrong

What result do you get if you export all these variables and run the same command line that Bamboo does?
