Hi,

this patch series adds 30 more java packages and fixes one that now
fails. With this, we have about 60 packages left before maven.

You could add a reset-terminal phase after the test phase that sends an
ANSI reset sequence. Either by invoking the ‘reset’ command, which would
add a dependency on ncurses and is probably overkill, or by sending
(from memory, so check) \e[0m which resets only colour and weight and is
probably all you need here.

The problem is that the state modified by these escape sequences is in
the terminal itself.

We could filter build output through a sanitiser that strips or mangles
those sequences so we only print ‘plain text’ to the terminal (while
keeping them in logs — I'm sure some source-based package managers do
just that). I don't know if that would break some tests, though.

Kind regards,

T G-R
