Improved Output Window APIs
There are several new classes that relate to the Output window, resulting in cool enhancements, such as the Output window in Test Runner.
New classes include IOColorLines, IOColors, and IOContainer.
Here's IOColorLines:
try {
InputOutput io = IOProvider.getDefault().getIO("Colorful Output", null);
IOColorLines.println(io, "Hello....", Color.GREEN);
IOColorLines.println(io, "how....", Color.RED);
IOColorLines.println(io, "are....", Color.BLUE);
IOColorLines.println(io, "you...?", Color.MAGENTA);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(DemoActionListener.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
The above results in:

Ok, let us start ANSI Colored Console games ;-)
But it is a nice enhancement for NetBeans Platform Server Applications.

I'm curious what are the dependencies of this colored output window (in terms of NB platform size/module number).
Some applications that use the standard output could use this colored output window instead if the dependencies were not too huge, and the API would be very simple to apply.
