[ANN] Maven Trap
Off and on, I've played with forks of Maven to improve it more to my
liking. This time, I've taking a different, hopefully more
sustainable approach - Maven Trap. It is an executable interception
framework and three modules:
* Console Colorization - Pages of white or green text is hard to
read and makes it easy for critical errors to slip by. This module
transforms output into ANSI colorized text to make it easier to see
errors and other key events.
* Always Offline - A build system should not connect the network
unless you explicitly give it permission. This module inverts the
meaning of the "-o" flag to make the default offline, only to be
enabled via the "-o" flag.
* YAML POM - While XML is great for programs, it sucks for humans.
This module automatically converts your XML pom.xml file into a
YAML-formatted pom.yml for either read-only or editable usage.
Since Maven Trap treats Maven as an opaque black box, what it can do
is limited, however, it provides low-risk integration points that can
be extended fairly easily and should work with most any version of
Maven. Each module can be enabled by setting a unique environment
variable, giving you full control over which features you want without
modifying your Maven installation.

AFAIK the coloring scheme in eclipse console uses some custom eclipse API,

At least the black/red in eclipse is visible (System.out vs System.err), so
why should other colors be a problem?

Oddly enough, I wrote a plugin for jEdit, a text editor, that
supported telnet and SSH with ANSI color support, so if you switch to
it, and ssh into localhost, you can have color :)

Not sure how that code would get loaded without playing with
classloaders, but with a more robust shell script, sure, that would be
a nice addition.

Yeah, silly windows. ansi.sys apparently isn't shipped anymore, which
makes me sad as a former BBS junkie. If you find a terminal that
supports ansi color codes, it should work.

The idea of wrapping Maven with an interceptor framework to enable plugable
features without impact is really interesting. Maybe it could help
contributors to experiment some code, share with others, and expect it to
get later merged into codebase if community approves the feature. A
"M2_HOME/dropins" folder for such plugable features could be even better ;)
Just ot let you know the color feature is broken on windows platform :(
