Tom Wieczorek commented on MNG-6220:
------------------------------------
I'm somehow not able to see any change when using {{-Dstyle.color=XXX}} with
Maven 3.5.2. It always uses the auto detection. Can somebody confirm that it's
working? I tried {{never}} at the terminal and had colors. I tried {{always}}
when piping, and got no colors. I also tried some bogus value to trigger the
exception, but to no avail.
I tried both {{MAVEN_OPTS}} and as an argument to {{mvn}}.

> Add CLI options to control color output

>
> 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)
