how do I get a log of system info and module info when starting maven netbeans app

[jbentonOR]

When I run a netbeans application built in ant, I get a nice log of system information:
>Log Session: Thursday, January 27, 2011 7:40:39 PM CST
>System Info:
Product Version = nb-ant-app 201010151251
Operating System = Windows XP version 5.2 running on amd64
...

and module information:
INFO [org.netbeans.core.startup.NbEvents]: Turning on modules:
org.openide.util.lookup [8.5 201010151251]
org.openide.util [8.9 201010151251]
org.openide.modules [7.21 201010151251]
org.openide.filesystems [7.42 201010151251]
...

Is there a way to get the same output when running a maven based netbeans app?

This didn't seem to work for me.

My run command looks like this

--- nbm-maven-plugin:3.3:run-platform (default-cli) @ application ---
Executing: cmd.exe /X /C
"C:\Temp\myApp-UI\application\target\foo\bin\foo.exe --userdir
C:\Temp\myApp-UI\application\target\userdir
-J-Dnetbeans.logger.console=true -J-ea --branding foo --jdkhome
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12""

Does the ordering of the arguments matter?
And If so is there another place to set them? I currently go Project >
properties > Actions > Run Project > Set Properties
and added -J-Dnetbeans.logger.console=true there

My workaround is to do add this to my class declaration


private IOProvider debug = IOProvider.get("DEBUG");
private InputOutput iO = debug.getIO("DEBUG", false);
private OutputWriter out = iO.getOut();


and then to output to the output window in my application

out.println("Whatever I want to output.");
