Description

Cannot use the standard log4j conversion patterns for colors.  It would be very useful to highlight log entries for errors and warnings especially.

An example of something that doesn't work:

 
 
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%highlight{%r [%t] %-5p}

{FATAL=red, ERROR=red, WARN=yellow bold, INFO=gray, DEBUG=green bold, TRACE=blue}

%c - %m%n
