View log of maven commands run by Eclipse plugins

I often found myself in a situation where I would like to see exactly which Maven commands Eclipse is running behind the scenes. In this case I am running a webapp with WTP, but this question is more general (though I would gladly accept answers for just that scenario).

Is there any way either with a pom configuration or an Eclipse configuration to view a log of all commands (and potentially any output) that any Eclipse plugin (or at least m2eclipse-wtp) have run?

The Maven Console will show you the Maven output from m2e and m2eclipse - access it from the very right hand side dropdown of the normal Console view.
