`protected java.lang.String` `getBuildFailedMessage()` This is an override point: the message that indicates whether a build failed.
`protected java.lang.String` `getBuildSuccessfulMessage()` This is an override point: the message that indicates that a build succeeded.
`protected java.lang.String` `getTimestamp()` Get the current time.
`protected void` `log(java.lang.String message)` Empty implementation which allows subclasses to receive the same output that is generated here.
`void` `messageLogged(BuildEvent event)` Logs a message, if the priority is suitable.
`protected void` `printMessage(java.lang.String message, java.io.PrintStream stream, int priority)` Prints a message to a PrintStream.
`void` `setEmacsMode(boolean emacsMode)` Sets this logger to produce emacs (and other editor) friendly output.
`void` `setErrorPrintStream(java.io.PrintStream err)` Sets the output stream to which this logger is to send error messages.
`void` `setMessageOutputLevel(int level)` Sets the highest level of message this logger should respond to.
`void` `setOutputPrintStream(java.io.PrintStream output)` Sets the output stream to which this logger is to send its output.
`void` `targetFinished(BuildEvent event)` No-op implementation.
`void` `targetStarted(BuildEvent event)` Logs a message to say that the target has started if this logger allows information-level messages.

Constructor Detail

### DefaultLogger

    public DefaultLogger()

  Sole constructor.

Method Detail

### setMessageOutputLevel

    public void setMessageOutputLevel(int level)

  Sets the highest level of message this logger should respond to. Only messages with a message level lower than or equal to the given level should be written to the log.

  Constants for the message levels are in the `Project` class. The order of the levels, from least to most verbose, is `MSG_ERR`, `MSG_WARN`, `MSG_INFO`, `MSG_VERBOSE`, `MSG_DEBUG`.

  The default message level for DefaultLogger is Project.MSG_ERR.

  Specified by:
    `setMessageOutputLevel` in interface `BuildLogger`
  Parameters:
    `level` - the logging level for the logger.

### setOutputPrintStream

    public void setOutputPrintStream(java.io.PrintStream output)

  Sets the output stream to which this logger is to send its output.

  Specified by:
    `setOutputPrintStream` in interface `BuildLogger`
  Parameters:
    `output` - The output stream for the logger. Must not be `null`.

### setErrorPrintStream

    public void setErrorPrintStream(java.io.PrintStream err)

  Sets the output stream to which this logger is to send error messages.

  Specified by:
    `setErrorPrintStream` in interface `BuildLogger`
  Parameters:
    `err` - The error stream for the logger. Must not be `null`.

### setEmacsMode

    public void setEmacsMode(boolean emacsMode)

  Sets this logger to produce emacs (and other editor) friendly output.

  Specified by:
    `setEmacsMode` in interface `BuildLogger`
  Parameters:
    `emacsMode` - `true` if output is to be unadorned so that emacs and other editors can parse files names, etc.

### buildStarted

    public void buildStarted(BuildEvent event)

  Responds to a build being started by just remembering the current time.

  Specified by:
    `buildStarted` in interface `BuildListener`
  Parameters:
    `event` - Ignored.

### buildFinished

    public void buildFinished(BuildEvent event)

  Prints whether the build succeeded or failed, any errors the occurred during the build, and how long the build took.

  Specified by:
    `buildFinished` in interface `BuildListener`
  Parameters:
    `event` - An event with any relevant extra information. Must not be `null`.
  See Also:
    `BuildEvent.getException()`

### getBuildFailedMessage

    protected java.lang.String getBuildFailedMessage()

  This is an override point: the message that indicates whether a build failed. Subclasses can change/enhance the message.

  Returns:
    The classic "BUILD FAILED"

### getBuildSuccessfulMessage

    protected java.lang.String getBuildSuccessfulMessage()

  This is an override point: the message that indicates that a build succeeded. Subclasses can change/enhance the message.

  Returns:
    The classic "BUILD SUCCESSFUL"
