--------------------------------------
Hi [~rfscholte], [~mryan]
I agree that it might be interesting to have the ability to programatically
activate / deactivate the color output but from my POV a command line option is
too much. It might be an extension point like proposed by Robert or a system
property but not more. End users (developers) won't really need it. This is
only useful for IDE, CI, .. and others integrations like mentioned here.
> Add CLI options to control color output
> ---------------------------------------

> Key: MNG-6220
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6220
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Manuel Ryan
>
> Currently, the only way to enable/disable color output is to use the
> batch-mode or log-file options.
> If a user wants colored output but no interactivity (ie: jenkins environment
> with the ansicolor plugin), there is no CLI option combination to support the
> use-case.
> I propose to add an option to control output coloring directly.
> {noformat}
> --color=enabled <- color output always enabled
> --color=disabled <- color output always disabled
> --color=auto <- current behavior (default)
> {noformat}
