Two issues:
1. Unfortunately, Commons CLI does not offer valid values. If it would, it
would fail if the option value is wrong. I would do so too.
2. You blindly `return` from `always`, but still forget that Jansi will
ignore that because `isatty` returns false as soon as `stdout` is passed via
pipe.
> Add CLI options to control color output

> Key: MNG-6220
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6220
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Manuel Ryan
>
> Currently, the only way to enable/disable color output is to use the
> batch-mode or log-file options.
> If a user wants colored output but no interactivity (ie: jenkins environment
> with the ansicolor plugin), there is no CLI option combination to support the
> use-case.
> I propose to add an option to control output coloring directly.
> {noformat}
> --color=enabled <- color output always enabled
> --color=disabled <- color output always disabled
> --color=auto <- current behavior (default)
> {noformat}
