A terminal emulator library and application

JTerm

JTerm is a terminal emulator written in Java with a very thin native layer to connect to the underlying pseudoterminal device.

Setup

Run this to compile the software:

./gradlew clean terminalShared createRuntime

and then execute the main script:

./terminal.sh

Specification

Useful information on implementing a terminal emulator can be found on https://vt100.net/, especially the VT102 User Guide and its chapter about Received Character Processing is a useful resource. The page that describes the Xterm Control Sequences is also a very good reference.

One day the vttest should pass, but we're not there yet :)
