Running with maven/surefire

[Bob Walker]

Hi - great library, thanks!

Is there a simple answer to why JAnsi doesn't colour output when called from a maven install / junit test? 

given the attached project, 

mvn clean install 

will print the output, but un-coloured, whilst 

mvn clean install exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=test.JAnsiTest

applies the expected colouring.

Any insight gratefully appreciated.

Regards,

Bob

It depends if the the System.out is directed at a console or a file (or process pipe).  JANSI strips ANSI color codes if the output is not a console that can display them.
