Re: New PropertyHelper to Easily Add Colors to Ant Output

Hi,

Is there a way to detect if Ant is running on a compatible terminal?

For example, I sometimes forward Ant's output to a text file, such as "ant
sometarget > sometarget.txt"; in such cases, I'd prefer not to include
escape codes.

Thanks,
Christopher
