Add colors to IDEA console with slf4j-log4j2

1. Add dependecy:
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>log4j-slf4j-impl</artifactId>
            <version>${log4j.version}</version>
        </dependency>
2.Create config file for log4j (https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html). 
I prefer log4j2-test.properties because according documentation this format will look second, after configFile:
'If no system property is set the properties ConfigurationFactory will look for log4j2-test.properties in the classpath.'
---------------------------------------------------------------
appenders=console

appender.console.type=Console
appender.console.name=STDOUT
appender.console.layout.type=PatternLayout
appender.console.layout.pattern=%highlight{[%d{HH:mm:ss:SSS}] [%p] [%c{1}:%L] - %m%n%throwable}{FATAL=white, ERROR=red, WARN=yellow, INFO=grey, DEBUG=green, TRACE=Cyan}

rootLogger.level=info
rootLogger.appenderRefs=stdout
rootLogger.appenderRef.stdout.ref=STDOUT
---------------------------------------------------------------
3. Create slf4j logger object (or use lombok annotation @Slf4j):
private static final Logger log = org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getLogger(ClassName.class);
4. Add to IDEA configuration templates (Run->Edit configurations...) VM option: -Dlog4j.skipJansi=false
5. Enjoy!
