commands in java to clear the screen

Question

What command in Java will let you clear the console in a command-line application?

Answer 1

If none of the above solutions works for you( as in my case ), try this solution:

new ProcessBuilder("cmd", "/c", "cls").inheritIO().start().waitFor();

I'm using Windows 8 and this solution worked for me. Hope it does to you as well. :)

Answer 2

clearing for bash that is working for me:

System.out.print(String.format("\033[H\033[2J"));
