🚀 Jenkins instance deployed, two jobs (JobA and JobB) pipeline using Docker Agents.

📝 JobA uses ubuntu based image with `$TERM=xterm`  
📝 JobB uses debian based image with `$TERM=xterm`

✅ Builds executed on JobA gets color from java/maven commands  
❌ Builds executed on JobA gets color from java/maven commands

I think there is something missing on debian image, I’ve tried to install several packages (ncurses-term, libicu-dev, iso-codes, locales), executed `locale-gen en_US.UTF-8` and I was able to get color when I run debian container directly and but on Jenkins builds nothing worked.

Jenkins setup:  
Jenkins 2.346.3  
AnsiColor plugin 1.0.2 (colormap xterm)
