ANSI color logging in Maven

Hello,

I have opened an enhancement request for ANSI color logging for Maven here.
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3507

I believe it would be a neat usability enhancement to Maven and make it 
much easier to skim through logging output on the console.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Rahul

As long as it's optional (preferable enabled by detecting the  
capability of the terminal but able to be disabled), it'd be cool. Not  
really a high priority, but if someone is able to work on it, it'd be  
great :)

CHARVA might be useful as well:
http://www.pitman.co.za/projects/charva/

It seems both require a native DLL in order to work properly. This makes 
sense for things like single character input, echo control and similar 
terminal settings.

I should assume that color output would work without curses, simply 
using the escape sequences as mentioned. So I'd keep javacurses and 
charva as fallback, or use them if available without depending on them.

Greetings,
  Martin

P.S.: I just recently subscribed to the list, and didn't receive the 
mail I'm responding to, so maybe this answer will break the thread in 
some views. Sorry about that.

Not sure about Eric, but Andrew Williams did some work under Plexus 
sandbox.
