A colleague and I have some problems with the default console in eclipse. You are able to modify the default output color, but are not really able to modify it to your needs. Sure, if you configure your logger (in our case log4j) you can easily differnciate between standard output and errors, but what if you want to see all kind of informations in differnt colors.

After there was another conversation about this topic in our office today I decided to have a deeper look in the eclipse plugin architecture and the eclipse console in general, but luckily I searched http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/ for any kind of console plugin and found this nifty one. http://marian.musgit.com/projects_grepconsole.php

Marian had the same idea of getting colors to the eclipse console as we got today. So I gave it a try and am really satisfied with what I got there. It’s a great plugin and I think I will use and recommend it.
