Even if I like the colorized console and couldn't leave without it now I would probably vote in favor to have it off by default because : * It is difficult to define the default font color that won't be unreadable on the user console (white on white, ....) * Like always, windows sucks and I didn't succeeded to have it working with Jansi on a Windows XP 64b and saw a bug reported on Windows 7 64b.
If this is off by default, I would like to be able to activate it by a little config change in the distro or better with a system property or a setting entry to not have to update the config each time I upgrade ( or rebuild ) Maven Arnaud On Fri, Dec 7, 2012 at 10:54 PM, Stephen Connolly < stephen.alan.conno...@gmail.com> wrote: > +1 from me > > On Friday, 7 December 2012, Jesse McConnell wrote: > > > I sure hope colored logging is off by default, I hate it :) > > > > -- > > jesse mcconnell > > jesse.mcconn...@gmail.com <javascript:;> > > > > > > > > On Fri, Dec 7, 2012 at 3:20 PM, Stephen Connolly < > > stephen.alan.conno...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > I am -1 on coloured logger in 3.1.0 though given the number of commits > to > > > core coming from me I am fine to state this is not a veto rather a very > > > strong preference. > > > > > > I am fine with proofing the coloured logger changes before releasing > > 3.1.0 > > > to ensure that we have logging right but in my view user visible > changes > > > make API changes more solid so I am less keen to couple them. > > > > > > The logging changes are big enough for a separate release.
