I would like to write a Java terminal application that does screen manipulation. Are there any good libraries out there that allow you to manipulate the screen like curses in the *nix/C world?
Minimal features I'm looking for are windowing and user input support.
In feature-speak, I'd like to have a region of the terminal where some data is regularly updated while (at the same time) the user can enter commands/text in some other part of the screen.
There is Charva, which links to native code but has an api based on Swing. The screenshots show lots of text windows, so that looks useful.
