How to print colored text with System.out.println in Eclipse REGULAR CONSOLE window?

You can set the colours of the text produced by the standard output and standard error streams but you can't set the colour for each individual character in Eclipse's console. Setting colours is highly terminal dependent anyway (what if you have a simple black and white terminal?)

Integer i=0;
while (i<100) {
i++;
System.out.println(i.toString());
System.err.println("error");

}

System.err.println("error") works partially BUT
problem is, the above function first prints 1 to 100 (black) and then it prints 100 times 'error' in red color. Is there any way, that it respects the execution order. I mean, first it print 1 then error then 2 then error and so on.

Try a System.out.flush() and System.err.flush() after each and every println( ... ) call and see what happens.
