Hi all I was experimenting with LAB-1003 hands-on, where we're taught to get input from keyboard accessing stardard input in a buffered way. But the way I see it, there are two problems:
- We have to handle the exceptions from such generic classes like BufferedReader and InputStreamReader. - Appears complex to grasp to the java newcomer I then found out that since Java 6.0 there's a new java.io class, Console, whose object is returned by System.console(): public static Console <http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/Console.html> *console*() Returns the unique |Console| <http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/Console.html> object associated with the current Java virtual machine, if any. *Returns: T*he system console, if any, otherwise null. More information on Console's API javadoc's. It almost seems like something every java programmer been expecting. The problem is that, neither using Netbeans not Eclipse, the System console seems to be unavaliable. It works fine on the command line, but System.console() returns null when running through the IDE. I'm guessing that's because the JVM is handled in a different way. But I can't quite understand it. Can anyone explain why it doesn't work? Or if is there a workaround to make it work?
