For projects that require this and document specific requirements it will just work for non-Windows users. Say the project needs 8gb to run correctly: in most cases no one reads the documentation they run the build and it fails. Then they go read something and figure it out and it works. We've at least made it work for some people. If there isn't a single Maven committer who uses Windows who can add the same capabilities or we can't find a contributor I don't think it should stop the feature for going in for the people it can benefit. Igor and I don't use Windows regularly, don't know Windows, don't want to know Windows and none of our customers use Windows. It's overall a net improvement. For me it's a about gradual improvement. But I've asked on Twitter if there are any Windows users that can help. > Many months/years ago the integration of colors in logs output was rejected > in a part because we wasn't confident in the windows support ... I don't think that was the issue. The issue was us not being able the decide on an underlying logging framework.
