"Fullscreen" Java CLI?

Hi,

what would be the best / easiest way to create a "fullscreen" CLI in Java, which resembles programs like irssi, vim and ncmpcpp? (By fullscreen I don't actually mean that the entire screen is covered up with the terminal, but that the entire terminal window is filled up by the program's CLI...)
Thanks for any input,

mrallan

Sounds like you want an ncurses equivalent for Java.  Googling "java ncurses" brought me to Charva, which looks promising.

Yeah, I actually googled the exact same thing (and thus also came to take a look at Charva), but I don't quite think that this is what I'm looking for.
I've uploaded a mockup of what I'm trying to create here. Charva seems a little "overkill" for this.
Thanks a lot nonetheless though!
