Description ricktw 2011-02-24 07:46:07 UTC

It would be nice to have a feature implemented to color output windows (E.g. Tomcat server output).
See Eclipse's Grep Console: http://marian.musgit.com/projects_grepconsole.php

Comment 1 Marian Mirilovic 2011-02-24 07:51:15 UTC

I like it ...

Comment 2 doug 2011-11-02 01:12:49 UTC

This would great, esp. so if it will be the same or similar to implement across Netbeans and Eclipse (cross-compatibility).

Comment 3 markiewb 2012-09-23 00:05:59 UTC

ANSI coloring is now supported in output window (#214546), so work on this issue can be started.

Comment 4 Meo 2013-11-25 21:06:12 UTC

IntelliJ can do it now too

I'm sorry, it won't be certainly included in 8.0, maybe in some of future versions.

But anyone can implement it as a plugin.
