从 java 中清除 IntelliJ 控制台

Question

Is there a way to clear IntelliJ console from code? I've tried all the solutions I've found, like:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("clear")
System.out.print("\033[H\033[2J");  
System.out.flush();

Answer 1

I "hacked" it by literally clicking the "Clear All" icon:

public static void click(int x, int y) throws AWTException{
    Robot bot = new Robot();
    bot.mouseMove(x, y);
    bot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
    bot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
}

calling this with these coordinates on my screen:

click(75,890);

IntelliJ IDEA console is not a real terminal, so there is no command to clear it from your Java code.

public static void ClearConsole(){
    try{
        String operatingSystem = System.getProperty("os.name") //Check the current operating system
          
        if(operatingSystem.contains("Windows")){        
            ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("cmd", "/c", "cls");
            Process startProcess = pb.inheritIO.start();
            startProcess.waitFor();
        } else {
            ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("clear");
            Process startProcess = pb.inheritIO.start();

            startProcess.waitFor();
        } 
    }catch(Exception e){
        System.out.println(e);
    }
}
