David Bernhard updated MNG-3507:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: maven-colorlogger.zip

To install, make the project and put the jar in {{$M2_HOME/lib}}.

Then, patch the plexus file in the maven uberjar:

In {{lib/}}, execute
{{jar xf maven-2.0.9-uber.jar org/codehaus/plexus/plexus-bootstrap.xml}}

In the unzipped file, edit the entry
{{org.codehaus.plexus.logging.console.ConsoleLoggerManager}}
to
{{ch.elca.el4j.maven.logging.FormattedLoggerManager}}

add it to the uberjar with (again in lib/)
{{jar uf maven-2.0.9-uber.jar org/codehaus/plexus/plexus-bootstrap.xml}}

and delete the org/ directory.

Ansi color is output only when you call maven with the option 
*{{-Dplexus.logger.type=ansi}}*.



> ANSI Color logging for improved output visibility.

> Is it possible for Maven to use ANSI color logging? IMO it would make Maven 
> logs much easier to read and increase the visibility of items that the user 
> want to see at any given point in time. 
> I think Andrew Williams did some work under Plexus sandbox to enable color 
> logging. There also a color logger available in Ant.
