Description

The netbeans output window does not output colors.

 

Steps to reproduce :

 

1. Create a Class.
2. Write a main with the following code 

```java

public static void main(String[] args)

{ String ANSI_RESET = "\u001B[0m"; String ANSI_RED = "\u001B[31m"; System.out.println(ANSI_RED + "This text is red!" + ANSI_RESET); }

```

Which doesn't prints any color. I also tried using Jshell, the output is also not colored and is also mangled :

=> [31mThis text is red![0m
