Well, there is no method in Java to clear the screen(not what I know about)

What you can do is to use the OS commands to do this.

If you are running Linux, *BSD or something else look a like you can try this code, it will work fine.



public void cleerScreen() throws IOException
{

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("clear");
String line = "";
BufferedReader out = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (p.getInputStream() ) );

while( ( line=out.readLine() ) != null)
{
System.out.println(line);
}

}
