Christmas
=========
A Java TUI ([text-based user interface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text-based_user_interface)) widget toolkit which aims at using no native code at all (even on Windows platforms).

# Features

* Support for common terminal types (`ansi`, `linux`, `xterm*`, `screen*`, `vt*`, `dtterm` etc.) and terminal emulators (XTerm, RXVT, PuTTY, DtTerm etc).
 * Support for 16 ANSI colours. Bright foreground is implemented using either `BOLD` attribute or `AIXTerm` control sequences (terminal-dependent). Bright background is implemented using either `BLINK` attribute (RXVT family) or `AIXTerm` control sequences (terminal-dependent).
 * Pseudographics via either Unicode line drawing characters (if locale's codepage supports it -- i. e. for `UTF-8`, `IBM866`, `KOI8-R`) or VT100 line drawing characters.
 * Continuous window size querying (for terminals which have this capability). Support for `SIGWINCH` (UNIX) is planned.
 * Correct handling of most control and escape sequences, incl. function keys (ANSI/Sun/SCO etc.)
 * Custom window titles supported. 
 * Own "database" of terminal capabilities

# Running

```bash
mvn exec:java
```
