As you might have noticed, plugins like maven-surefire-plugin,
maven-failsafe-plugin and maven-dependency-plugin contain ANSI coloring
support, so yes it is possible at mojo-level.
They create a MessageBuilder via MessageUtils[1]. And yes, there are only
a small set of methods available to prevent a rainbow of colors, which
would be as bad as no colors at all :)
thanks,

I am wondering if Maven plugins have the ability to output ANSI colors,
and if so how.
Are plugins expected to output to stdout/stderr to make use of colors,
or is it possible for them to send colors directly into the Maven logger
somehow?
Thank you,
Gili
