Clear content from my netbeans java console

Question

Good morning guys, which java command do I use to clean up my netbeans console? Because I have a method that is every time printing some messages and I want you to keep cleaning this from my console.

Answer 1

To clear the console, you can create and run the method below, which identifies the OS and executes the appropriate command to clear the console:

public final static void clearConsole(){

        try{
            final String os = System.getProperty("os.name");

            if (os.contains("Windows")){
                Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cls");

            }else{
                Runtime.getRuntime().exec("clear");
            }
        }
        catch (final Exception e){
        //  Tratar Exceptions
        }
    }
