Java terminal process switch

Question

I'm building a library for making command line games as a fun project, and while I have most of the code done, I've hit a roadblock with end-user viewing. What I would like is when the application is jpackaged, the user runs it, and it opens a terminal window. While I have opened a window using Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/usr/bin/open -a Terminal");, I was wondering how I could make it so - using the process returned from .exec(...) - that window is the one which is running the application. Example; thats the window where System.out.println prints to. Is this even possible, or should I be doing it a different way. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

There are 2 methods that I know about.

Method 1 : If you've coded the game and made it a JAR. You can type this in CMD to print the game in CMD.EXE

java -jar "LocationOfJar"

like java -jar C:/Users/TOP10/Desktop/Game.jar

or if the command is in the same folder as the jar.. java -jar Game.jar

Method 2 : Create an OutputStream and connect it to a JFrame with a JTextField.

Create an OutputStream that streams outputs to a Text field in a window that your library should show.
