Maven: Make the maven output less verbose

When I ran ‘mvn clean install’ on a simple ‘pom.xml’ file, I got below information.

I really don't want to know all the info and debug messages. I just want to know, is there any error messages, what is the final outcome of the command.

You can use the option -q, --quite to suppress info, warn and debug messages. It displays only error messages.

When I ran the command ‘mvn -q clean install’, I seen below output.
