Colored Output to Console

[Glen Divers]

Hi

I notice within Eclipse, output written to the Console via the logging framework uses red text, whilst output from System.out.println uses black text. Does anyone have any idea how to set the color of the text when writing to System.out. My current project includes the debugging of traffic over the serial port which I'm doing by writing to System.out at the moment and it would make life so much easier if I could highlight specific responses.

Regards

In Eclipse
From the menu, Window >preferences>run/debug>console...make your choice!

Eclipses coloring is done by the IDE, not the logger; in other words, it says "Oh, this is from err, use red."

Download jansi-1.4.jar and set classpath and then Try This code 100% working :

import org.fusesource.jansi.AnsiConsole;
import static org.fusesource.jansi.Ansi.*;
import static org.fusesource.jansi.Ansi.Color.*;

public class Sample
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    AnsiConsole.systemInstall();

    System.out.println(ansi().fg(RED).a("Hello World").reset());
    System.out.println("My Name is Raman");

    AnsiConsole.systemUninstall();
  }
}

That looks good, but which classes are those static members imported from? Where is that .jar available?
