Stephen Connolly updated MNG-6093: ---------------------------------- Fix Version/s: (was: 3.5.0-alpha-2) > create a slf4j-simple provider extension that supports level color rendering > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-6093 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6093 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Logging > Reporter: Hervé Boutemy > Assignee: Hervé Boutemy > Fix For: 3.5.0, 3.5.0-alpha-1 > > > With color support, core Maven and plugins do general message colorization > (or more high-level "message styling" through maven-shared-utils) > slf4j provider however has to add color: > - for log level output (DEBUG/INFO/WARNING/ERROR) > - for stacktrace rendering > That's why we use Gossip slf4j provider: it has sufficient little extension > points to add this, with just a little bit of code (see > http://maven.apache.org/ref/3-LATEST/maven-embedder/apidocs/org/apache/maven/cli/logging/impl/gossip/package-summary.html > ) and configuration > The issue with switching to Gossip slf4j provider is that people don't know > it and it does not have the same features as slf4j-simple (missing relative > timestamps and configuration with CLI: see > http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-dev/201607.mbox/%3CCAK8jvqxYNK4weM2Frp4Brg3J7EybyjBiCsSRdGuNMQhYAG728Q%40mail.gmail.com%3E > ), the configuration file is not the same (name nor content). > But the extension points are not that big: if slf4j-simple provider just made > a few methods protected instread of private, it would be extensible > What if we just copy slf4j-simple to change the signatures and create small > extension classes? The license permits it, we can try it and eventually see > with slf4j if the modification can go into official release -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
