system("cls") in Java?

Hi, this thread probably exists, but not good answers for me. How can I clear screen in Java? Im using NetBeans and his output.

Thanks for your response.

Are you clearing your terminal/console/Command-prompt or some sort of GUI Interface.

If you are talking about your terminal/console/Command-prompt, then there are many ways to do this depending on the OS and how your implement this.

For example, In Linux you could just do this.

Code:

---

Runtime.getRuntime.exec("clear");

There is a command in linux that does this already. I bet there is one for Windows as well... I think there is a clear program on windows as well but I am not too sure. If using external programs is not your cup of tea then this should work for you!

Code:

---

public class Clear {
        public static void main(String args[]) {
        final String clear = "\033[";
                System.out.print(clear + "2J"); System.out.flush();
        }
}
