[jira] [Commented] (MNG-6045) Document Jansi's native support limitation

["Hervé Boutemy (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6045?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15589008#comment-15589008 ] 

Hervé Boutemy commented on MNG-6045:
------------------------------------

building a native library for JAnsi is not useful IMHO: the only platform that really requires these native functions is Windows, or colors won't be rendered at all (replaced by mess).

On every other platform, color is rendered without any native function: native function is used for isatty(), ie detecting if interactive or not = not really used (and does not work well even with native functions...)

Then I don't see how such documentation will be useful for any Maven user

> Jansi supports only Linux, Windows and OS X by default with native functions. We must document that for the users and point how they can build a native library for their platform.
