bob-tee opened a new issue, #5552:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/5552
### Description
It would be very nice if the Netbeans output window supported ANSI text
colours. For example, the below would print red text:
```java
public static void main(String[] args) {
String ANSI_RESET = "\u001B[0m";
String ANSI_RED = "\u001B[31m";
System.out.println(ANSI_RED + "This text should be red!" +
ANSI_RESET);
}
````
The system terminal and also the Netbeans terminal both display red text for
the above example.

### Use case/motivation
The text colour can be very useful especially when there is a lot of output.
For consistency with the terminal it would be great if the output window
handled the ANSI text colours.
