ViewsCan the IntelliJ IDEA run tab have color?
I am running a spring boot application inside IntelliJ IDEA and noticed a difference if I run it via the run tab (run menu) and via manual command from the terminal tab.
If I run it through a maven run target (play button), I do not see any colors inside the 'run' tab. If I run it via 'mvn spring-boot:run from the 'terminal' tab I see the pretty color highlights. The maven run configuration also runs the same command, spring-boot:run.
Application started from the play button/run configuration (run tab):
Application started from the terminal tab via mvn spring-boot:run (terminal tab):

Inside build.gradle, add the following block to get colorized log output when running your Spring Boot app inside IntelliJ IDEA via gradle bootRun.
bootRun {
jvmArgs = ["-Dspring.output.ansi.enabled=ALWAYS"]
}

It's supported for the Spring Boot Run/Debug configuration type. It explicitly passes
-Dspring.output.ansi.enabled=always
JVM option enabling the color output.
As far as I know, ANSI colors support is not available when you run it in IntelliJ IDEA using Maven or Gradle configurations in the built-in console. Feature request is welcome.

In IDEA 2017.1 EAP I'm getting colours even if I'm just running the application with the standard run command
Edit: Might be that Community edition doesn't support Spring Boot at all (https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/editions_comparison_matrix.html)
