[Advanced-java] disabling echo on System.in and Good Java programming resources

[jsight@xxxxxxxx (Jesse D. Sightler)]

Hi Tim,

You can use the methods
|static void| |* setErr 
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#setErr%28java.io.PrintStream%29>*( 
PrintStream 
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/io/PrintStream.html> err)|
          Reassigns the "standard" error output stream.
|static void| |* setIn 
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#setIn%28java.io.InputStream%29>*( 
InputStream 
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/io/InputStream.html> in)|
          Reassigns the "standard" input stream.
|static void| |* setOut 
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#setOut%28java.io.PrintStream%29>*( 
PrintStream 
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/io/PrintStream.html> out)|
          Reassigns the "standard" output stream.


to redirect stdout, stderr, and stdin.  

Although I don't really think that you can disable echo with the 
standard console.  The only thing that I can think of is to switch to 
use a custom console in AWT/Swing.
