[jira] [Created] (MNG-6242) No color for maven on Cygwin

Brian Oxley created MNG-6242:
--------------------------------

             Summary: No color for maven on Cygwin
                 Key: MNG-6242
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6242
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Command Line
    Affects Versions: 3.5.0
         Environment: Cygwin.  For example, my uname currently says:

CYGWIN_NT-10.0 Beren 2.8.0(0.309/5/3) 2017-04-01 20:47 x86_64 Cygwin
            Reporter: Brian Oxley
            Priority: Minor


Full description and workaround here: https://binkley.blogspot.com/2017/04/maven-color-logging-on-cygwin.html

In short: the JANSI library used in Maven 3.5.0 does not detect Cygwin, and falls back to no color.  There is a workaround (Zart Colwing):  Add {{-Djansi.passthrough=true}} to {{MAVEN_OPTS}}.

As the mvn script understands Cygwin, it would be helpful to add the passthrough flag automatically.  (Of course, there may need to be some smarts about batch and logging modes, and checking if stdout is a console vs pipeline.)

Apologies: I'm unsure how to issue a PR for the maven repo.
