Charles Oliver Nutter commented on MDEP-974:
--------------------------------------------
This was part of, but not the primary cause of, an issue in JRuby's jar
dependency management: [https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues/8606.]
It seems like an audit might be needed to ensure other file output from Maven
is not including ANSI escape sequences. ANSI color etc should only be emitted
to a terminal, or if explicitly turned on for non-terminals.

> In 2017, the output of dependency:list was modified to use color to offset
> the " -- module ..." portion of the resolved resource, following a previous
> change in 2016 to add that text with Java module information. However this
> colorized output is emitted to both the console *and* any output file. See
> the attached screenshot.
> This output is frequently parsed by other tools to get the list of
> dependencies for a project, and being text output it should not contain ANSI
> color escape sequences.
