Adding colour to the forrest output messages will greatly assist readability. Set the ANT_ARGS environment variable like so: export ANT_ARGS=”$ANT_ARGS -logger org.apache.tools.ant.listener.AnsiColorLogger” To change the default colours, set the ANT_OPTS environment variable like so: export ANT_OPTS=”$ANT_OPTS -Dant.logger.defaults=$FORREST_HOME/etc/AnsiColorLogger.properties” and create that configuration file as explained in the Apache Ant Manual. Note that not all terminals support ANSI color codes.
