Robert Scholte commented on MNG-6220:
-------------------------------------

[~mryan] Just to let you know: Arnaud is working on both Maven and Jenkins 
(Cloudbees). 

We should try to only keep a limit set of CLI options. Based on Arnauds answer 
there's no need for such an option. And to me that makes sense: the output for 
Maven (console) and Jenkins (webpage) is different, so Jenkins must do output 
parsing anyway to enable/disable color support.

> 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)
