    copied!<h2><strong>My entire code can be found at the link below, I'm linking it for the sake of a shorter post</strong></h2> <p><a href="http://pastebin.com/6kw8cx3b" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/6kw8cx3b</a></p> <p>I want to clear the Output screen, I'm to make the program simulate a user pressing ctrl+L, which in NetBeans IDE 6.9.1 (which I'm using) clears my output window. However, I'm getting errors with my code.</p> <pre><code>public static void clearme() { try { botthing pressbot = new botthing(); pressbot.keyPress(17); // Holds CTRL key. pressbot.keyPress(76); // Holds L key. pressbot.keyRelease(17); // Releases CTRL key. pressbot.keyRelease(76); // Releases L key. } catch (AWTException ex) { Logger.getLogger(LoginPage.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } } </code></pre> <p>My errors were...</p> <p>Cannot find symbol symbol: class botthing</p> <p>cannot find symbol symbol: class AWTException</p> <p>cannot find symbol symbol: variable Logger</p> <p>cannot find symbol symbol: class LoginPage</p> <p>cannot find symbol symbol: variable Level</p> <p><strong>HOWEVER!</strong> After adding these import statements</p> <pre><code>import java.awt.AWTException; import java.util.*; import java.io.*; import java.util.logging.Level; import java.util.logging.Logger; </code></pre> <p>my errors are...</p> <p>cannot find symbol symbol: class botthing location: class program2</p> <p>exception java.awt.AWTException is never thrown in body of corresponding try statement</p> <p>cannot find symbol symbol: class LoginPage location: class program2</p> <p>I'm not sure what those mean, but I think the java.awt error could be related to my main(), which is public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException</p> <p>All I want to do is clear my output screen. I've also tried </p> <pre><code>for(int x=0;x&lt;999;x++) { System.out.print("\b\b\b\b\b"); } </code></pre> <p>and </p> <pre><code>Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cls"); </code></pre> <p>but both to no avail.</p> <p>If the code I've been trying can't be easily fixed, or if someone knows an easier way, I'd love to know. To clarify, all I want to do is clear my Output window after multiple System.out.println's and such.</p>
