Description

AbstractMojo currently defines it's own Log interface, hard coded to use System.out. This really restricts the logging capabilities of all plugins. It would be nice if it attempted to look up the plexus role "org.codehaus.plexus.logging.LoggerManager" first and only used System.out if that failed.

Doing this would also go a long way towards resolving MNG-2570 and MNG-3305.
