Package jexer Description

Jexer - Java Text User Interface library

This library is a text-based windowing system loosely reminiscent of Borland's Turbo Vision library. Jexer's goal is to enable people to get up and running with minimum hassle and lots of polish. A very quick "Hello World" application can be created as simply as this:

 
 import jexer.TApplication;

 public class MyApplication extends TApplication {

     public MyApplication() throws Exception {
         super(BackendType.XTERM);

         // Create standard menus for Tool, File, and Window.
         addToolMenu();
         addFileMenu();
         addWindowMenu();
     }

     public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
         MyApplication app = new MyApplication();
         app.run();
     }
 }
