Color Output of stack traces?

[Dave King]

Just wondering how hard it would be to add a filter that would color
stack traces such that code that matched some regex like ~ /ideajoy/
would stand out. We get big stack traces in groovy/gradle land and
I'd love to have my error lines jump out at me.

Has anyone done this? Should I have posted to Gradle Dev?

My intuition tells me that it would not be difficult on linux/posix
systems, but that it would be difficult, at best, for a platform agnostic
solution (windows), unless the environment is PowerShell or Cygwin. e.g.:
thor and capistrano seem to do this well

This would be a valuable feature for me as well.

Do you mean adding something to Gradle to do this, for the stack traces that are logged by Gradle?

Adam, yes that's what I'm thinking. Some filter that can be applied
from gradle to stackraces generated from a javaexec call for
instances.
