Brian Oxley created MNG-6242: -------------------------------- Summary: No color for maven on Cygwin Key: MNG-6242 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6242 Project: Maven Issue Type: Bug Components: Command Line Affects Versions: 3.5.0 Environment: Cygwin. For example, my uname currently says:
CYGWIN_NT-10.0 Beren 2.8.0(0.309/5/3) 2017-04-01 20:47 x86_64 Cygwin Reporter: Brian Oxley Priority: Minor Full description and workaround here: https://binkley.blogspot.com/2017/04/maven-color-logging-on-cygwin.html In short: the JANSI library used in Maven 3.5.0 does not detect Cygwin, and falls back to no color. There is a workaround (Zart Colwing): Add {{-Djansi.passthrough=true}} to {{MAVEN_OPTS}}. As the mvn script understands Cygwin, it would be helpful to add the passthrough flag automatically. (Of course, there may need to be some smarts about batch and logging modes, and checking if stdout is a console vs pipeline.) Apologies: I'm unsure how to issue a PR for the maven repo. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
