Colors in console appender

["Frank W. Zammetti" <fz...@omnytex.com>]

Hey all... is it possible to color-code messages written to the console 
with ConsoleAppender?  I tried using ANSI escape sequences, but it 
didn't seem to work.  I also found:

http://dsd.lbl.gov/sea/api/src-html/gov/lbl/dsd/sea/nio/util/ColorConsoleAppender.html

But it didn't seem to work either... If it's actually possible I'll take 
the time to figure out why, but I'd hate to waste time on something that 
won't work no matter what.  This is on Windows by the way, I don't need 
it color-coded in a Unix environment.

Thanks in advance!

I spent ages once trying to get this to work on windows without success.  

Appenders are available (as you found) which work on unix/linux but with all
the windows ansi hacks I could find, I still couldn't get it to work on
windows xp.  

My advice would be to not bother (unless anyone else has the solution) :-( 

I've used a SoundAppender in a development environment to highlight error
messages with humorous results dependant on the choice of .wav file used :-)

Regards

Andy
