How to use color text in Output Window
You can use IO extension classes like IOColorPrint
, IOColorLines
. Default colors can be changed via IOColors
.
InputOutput io = IOProvider.getDefault().getIO("test", true);
// change default color for output in corresponding tab
if (IOColors.isSupported(io)) {
IOColors.setColor(io, IOColors.OutputType.OUTPUT, Color.GRAY);
}
// print line in specific color
if (IOColorLines.isSupported(io)) {
IOColorLines.println(io, "Green line", Color.GREEN);
}
class L implements OutputListener {
//...
}
// print parts of line in specific color
if (IOColorPrint.isSupported(io)) {
IOColorPrint.print(io, "Green part", Color.GREEN);
IOColorPrint.print(io, " pink part", Color.PINK);
IOColorPrint.print(io, " hyperlink with custom color", new L(), false, Color.MAGENTA);
}
See here for a plugin that has a convenient class that takes care of the dirty work and even handles OutputListeners
.
Applies to: NetBeans 6.7 or later, (IOColorPrint 6.8 or later).
