coloring text with Java in Windows

I knew that in Linux Console we can write something like this

System.out.println("\033[31mhello");

so that the result will be "hello" (without quotes) and the color will be red...

is there any way to do this on windows? or is there any software that can handle the exactly same thing on windows?

It is possible to format the Windows console command output...the caveat is that you need to load the ANSI.SYS driver...You can refer to the following links:
