未按下组合键时的Java

Question

i have a java command prompt that look for file changes in the directory and then edits the file.

I want to have a key combination like "Crtl + E" to exit the program. The code should be like:

while(keyCom.NOTpressed){
**edit file**
}

Thank for help.

I hope you meant checking key event from console and not from UI (Swing/Html etc).

Key event capturing from console is tougher than what it seems initially. It requires some native support.

Found this library here http://sourceforge.net/projects/javacurses/ maybe you can take a look.
