Java gotoxy(x,y) for console applications

by

If by gotoxy(x,y), you want to reposition your cursor somewhere specific on the console, you can usually use VT100 control codes to do this. See http://www.termsys.demon.co.uk/vtansi.htm.

Do something like

char escCode = 0x1B;
int row = 10; int column = 10;
System.out.print(String.format("%c[%d;%df",escCode,row,column));

Which should move the cursor to position 10,10 on the console.
