Hervé committed this and is currently working on it. Colours disappeard on current 'master' here. I am not sure using plain JAnsi is the way to go. I would prefer having some kind of facade people can use which allows us to replace JAnsi without the need to touch any code. Currently JAnsi still is on the compile classpath. That's like using classes of some 'com.sun' package. We have no compiler warning people about direct use of JAnsi. So it better disappears from any compile classpath to be safe. Allowing direct use of JAnsi we also run into that 'everyone uses colours in an inconsistent way' - like someone else already said - we will get that rainbow console effect sometime in the future (when people start providing colours in theire plugins). The API Hervé is working on looks promising. Maybe we make that a class in 'maven-core' instead of a part of some library. Plugins already add 'maven-core' to theire compile classpath. That could pull in some kind of Ansi Logging helper class as well. No need for a separate library, I think.
