New PropertyHelper to Easily Add Colors to Ant Output

[Joe's Diner Webmaster]

Here is a little PropertyHelper I wrote that easily allows adding colors to
Ant tasks' output. Hopefully it will be of use to others.

Apache Ant Output Colorizor

Description:
An easy way to add color to Apache Ant build output. Unlike many other Ant
color utilities, this one does not automatically color your output based on
rules, but allows explicit control of colors and formatting from within the
Ant build file itself. Requires Ant version 1.8 or above and color support
from your terminal.

Note that this library is not doing any real magic and is just a convenient
wrapper around ANSI color codes.

Compatibility: Ant version 1.8 or above
URL: http://www.joesdiner.org/programs/ant-colorizor/

Also attached is a patchfile to add this project to the list of "External
Tools and Tasks" on the Ant website, as requested in the FAQ.

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
