What"s a good Java, curses-like, library for terminal applications?

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.

    Haven't used it myself, but Java Curses Library sounds like what you want.

    Here is a way to call the ncurses lib using JNI. I tested this and it works.

Slow Android emulator

By User
I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
