clear screen option in java [duplicate]

Answer 1

If you're talking about a console application, then there isn't a clear screen option AFAIK. A quite dirty option would be to invoke the clear screen command of the underlying OS.

Then it's something like

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cls");

for Windows or

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("clear");

for a load of other OS. You can find out the OS with System.getProperty("os.name").
