------------------------------------

             Summary: colour output cannot be disabled from settings.xml or MAVEN_OPTS
                 Key: MNG-6241
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6241
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.5.0
            Reporter: Thorsten Glaser


Coloured output does not look very nice in a Jenkins logfile *and* breaks some plugins we use, therefore I wish to disable it programmatically.

However, looking at the source, I find it can only be disabled by passing the command-line options -B or -l, but not from settings.xml or via MAVEN_OPTS in the environment.

I’ve worked around this by using dpkg-divert to move the mvn binary away and placing this…

{{{
# cat /usr/share/maven/bin/mvn
#!/bin/mksh-static
exec /usr/share/maven/bin/mvn.dpkg-dist -B "$@"
}}}

… in its stead, but that’s creepy at best. Please implement a setting, ideally for settings.xml *and* MAVEN_OPTS, to disable colour.
