### Method Detail

#### 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.

  `getBuildFailedMessage` in class `DefaultLogger`
Returns:
  The classic "BUILD FAILED" plus a timestamp

#### 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.

Overrides:
  `getBuildSuccessfulMessage` in class `DefaultLogger`
Returns:
  The classic "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" plus a timestamp

#### targetStarted

    public void targetStarted(BuildEvent event)

Notes the name of the target so it can be logged if it generates any messages.

Specified by:
  `targetStarted` in interface `BuildListener`
Overrides:
  `targetStarted` in class `NoBannerLogger`
Parameters:
  `event` - BuildEvent
