Change color in java eclipse console

Is there any way to change text color in eclipse console?
I am not talking about when I go to options and change color from black to for example red.
I mean like when I launch my program and it executes code and at some point it changes color.
For example:

//code  
if (a == 2)  
//change text color to red and continue typing in red color

I am not talking about guis jframes etc. I am talking about Eclipse console.

Probably by using a different org.eclipse.ui.console.MessageConsoleStream, considering that:

It is ssed to write messages to a message console.
A message console may have more than one stream connected to it.
Each stream may be displayed in a different color

See this thread:

IOConsoleOutputStream has a setColor(Color newColor), so I can MessageConsole.getInputStream().setColor(Color newColor) for each type of message.
