Is it possible to print any System.out.println("Hello world"); with some specific color in eclipse.

I have tried System.err.println() but it is not synchronized and using the ANSI codes does not work. I guess this problem is specifically for the eclipse, any suggestions?

public static final String ANSI_BLACK = "\u001B[30m";
public static final String ANSI_RED = "\u001B[31m";
public static final String ANSI_GREEN = "\u001B[32m";
public static final String ANSI_YELLOW = "\u001B[33m";
public static final String ANSI_BLUE = "\u001B[34m";
public static final String ANSI_PURPLE = "\u001B[35m";
public static final String ANSI_CYAN = "\u001B[36m";
public static final String ANSI_WHITE = "\u001B[37m";

System.out.println(ANSI_RED + "This text is red!" + ANSI_RESET);

I don't think so, and it isn't clear why you want to do this; users aren't going to run your program in eclipse. – Elliott Frisch Feb 24 '20 at 06:45

@ElliottFrisch I have to output the data in eclipse console for presentation so its specifically for eclipse. – Kunj Feb 24 '20 at 06:57
@KaustubhKhare no that's the same thing as using **ANSI code** which is not working for eclipse. – Kunj Feb 24 '20 at 06:59

After installing the plugin linked to in that answer, your code prints red text in my eclipse console. Best of luck! – Elliott Frisch Feb 24 '20 at 07:05
@ElliottFrisch Yes, that plugin works fine. Thank you for your help! – Kunj Feb 24 '20 at 07:08
