Maven spews out far too many lines of output to my taste (I like the Unix way: no news is good news).
I want to get rid of all [INFO] lines, but I couldn't find any mention of an argument or config settings that controls the verbosity of Maven.
Is there no LOG4J-like way to set the log level?
My problem is that -q is too quiet. I'm running maven under CI
With Maven 3.6.1 (April 2019), you now have an option to suppress the transfer progress when downloading/uploading in interactive mode.
mvn --no-transfer-progress ....
or in short:
mvn -ntp ... ....
That is what Ray proposed in the comments with MNG-6605 and PR 239.
The existing answer help you filter based on the log-level using --quiet. I found that many INFO messages are useful for debugging, however the downloading artifact log messages such as the following were noisy and not helpful.

I found this solution:

mvn clean install -B -Dorg.slf4j.simpleLogger.log.org.apache.maven.cli.transfer.Slf4jMavenTransferListener=warn
