"Hi,

I'm trying to build Maven projects with Jenkins and I notice that I cannot suppress the (quite large) output from Maven during builds.
If I build it as a Freestyle project (invoking Maven) it works just fine.

Maven project output:
-------------------------------

Output from Freestyle project:

T E S T S

Results :
Tests run: 0, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0
Finished: SUCCESS

The "-q" flag is passed in both cases, but it looks like the Maven builder used for Mavenprojects still outputs all the maven information.
Is this by design?"

Same is true for the debug flag (-X, --debug).
