Description
Running tests from Liberty Tools Eclipse the classname disappears. The color escape sequence renders this classname the same color of the Terminal background, and so invisible.

It should say:
Running it.io.openliberty.sample.EndpointIT
There is an option to select "Inverted Colors" in the Terminal but that just translates the same problem to black-over-black.

Research direction
Start by running a Maven test from Liberty Tools Eclipse and inspect the Terminal output around the class name. Trace where the color escape sequence is applied to that output. Done means the class name remains visible with normal and inverted Terminal colors, matching the expected “Running it.io.openliberty.sample.EndpointIT” text.
