wdym

like a loop?

[sonic storm]

no

how do i make

public class Console {

}
class CommandLineExample
{
public static void main ( String [] arguments )
{
System.out.println("Elystro.js");
}
}

liike not close when i open it

it stays pen forever until i press the close button

[subtle finch]

That's not under Java's control

Open the console first and run the program in then. Can be done with a Windows shortcut

[sonic storm]

dude

im making a console in java

thats all

on gui or application

just console by itself

I don't know what IDE you're using, because most have the console integrated into the same window.
Try doing System.in.read() at the end

[dusky sigil]

The console is closing because the program has ended. If you want to keep the program running you have to do something to make it keep running such as in.read as suggested above, which indefinitely await input from stdin unless/until you give some input

[compact spire]

It's still weird that the console is closing

Every IDE I know of keeps the output

[graceful aurora]

yes i think so it remebers and keeps in memory the outputs or the list of liens u can do that too

[graceful aurora]

can u show ur console code

[compact spire]

Wdym?
System.out.println

Or do you want Eclipse's source code for the console widget?

[graceful aurora]

oh i thought u were making a console

[graceful aurora]

nvm i thought u were op sorrylol

[subtle finch]

Well, IDEs are aware that they're being used by people currently trying to develop something and who need the potential feedback to stay.
Windows consoles, not so much, though I wouldn't deny if someone said that's another of Microsoft's stupid decisions

[compact spire]

I assumed this was being run from an IDE

Does it involve a batch script?

(to OP)

[sonic storm]

oh ok

nah

i managed to fix it

just made a gui

then set visibility to false

[sonic storm]

this i managed to fix

thanks tho

[atomic iris]

you could use a Thread to do it

might use less resources i think.

[sonic storm]

ok

[atomic iris]

ExecutorService console = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1);

console.execute(() -> {
  try {
 while (true) {
 Thread.sleep(1);
}

}
catch (InterruptedException e) {
  e.prinStackTrace;
 }
});

Why would you use a thread pool?

and you shouldn't use (Throwable::/e.)printStackTrace

[atomic iris]

why?

[compact spire]

Well, I guess it's fine for small programs

but having a thread that always waits I don't think is considered good practice

[atomic iris]

because that's essentially what they're doing anyway when they create a gui

[atomic iris]

more control over your thread?

[compact spire]

If there's just one though

new Thread(() -> {
}).start();

[atomic iris]

while (!console.isTerminated()) {}

control flow in main with a threadpool

[compact spire]

Why would you do it in another thread though?

Why not the main thread?

[atomic iris]

how?

[compact spire]

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(System.in);
for(;;) {
    String input = reader.readLine();
    if(input.equals("stop")) {
        break;
    }
}

or

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(System.in);
boolean running = true;
while(running) {
    String input = reader.readLine();
    if(input.equals("stop")) {
        running = false;
        continue;
    }
}

if you prefer

[atomic iris]

i guess I don't fully understand what they are doing in the first place but this is probably the better option

[compact spire]

Yeah, I was confused

they DM'd me though
(because it's a small world)
