I've been using Maven for Android projects quite extensively from command line lately and I found that a colour output is really helpful.I'm using iTerm2 on MacOs Mavericks (10.9). I've found a couple of bash scripts to colorise Maven output but none was quite enough for me :PThe two best I found are https://gist.github.com/mike-ensor/1881211 and
The blog post explainig how to use this: http://android.codeandmagic.org/colorize-maven-output/
source $HOME/.mvn_colour.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Notes
# In MacOS, + does not work for regex, nor -E flag.
# Instead I used \{1,\} for char repetition.

This looks very useful :)
But for the life of me I cannot get it to work. I need to run my maven using cygwin unfortunately so I don't know if that is an issue.

Could you explain to me how I use your script? (It's Friday and my brain already thinks its the weekend)

Many thanks,
Paul
