David Bernhard commented on MNG-3507:
-------------------------------------

Yes. It's possible - I've made a maven project that does it. The only catch is that under windows, while it works perfectly in cygwin xterms the native CMD.exe does not support it. I'll attach a zip in a minute.

> Is it possible for Maven to use ANSI color logging? IMO it would make Maven logs much easier to read and increase the visibility of items that the user want to see at any given point in time. 
> I think Andrew Williams did some work under Plexus sandbox to enable color logging. There also a color logger available in Ant.
