public class AnsiColorLogger
extends DefaultLogger
Uses ANSI Color Code Sequences to colorize messages
sent to the console.
If used with the -logfile option, the output file
will contain all the necessary escape codes to
display the text in colorized mode when displayed
in the console using applications like cat, more,
etc.
This is designed to work on terminals that support ANSI
color codes. It works on XTerm, ETerm, Mindterm, etc.
It also works on Win9x (with ANSI.SYS loaded.)
NOTE:
It doesn't work on WinNT's COMMAND.COM even with
ANSI.SYS loaded.
The default colors used for differentiating
the message levels can be changed by editing the
/org/apache/tools/ant/listener/defaults.properties
file.
This file contains 5 key/value pairs:
AnsiColorLogger.ERROR_COLOR=2;31
AnsiColorLogger.WARNING_COLOR=2;35
AnsiColorLogger.INFO_COLOR=2;36
AnsiColorLogger.VERBOSE_COLOR=2;32
AnsiColorLogger.DEBUG_COLOR=2;34
Another option is to pass a system variable named
ant.logger.defaults, with value set to the path of
the file that contains user defined Ansi Color
Codes, to the java command using -D option.
To change these colors use the following chart:
