Using the AWT Component

Setting up

You will first need to import the terminal-awt module in your maven project.

<dependencies>
   <dependency>
      <groupId>com.sshtools</groupId>
      <artifactId>terminal-awt</artifactId>
      <version>3.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
   </dependency>
</dependencies>
<repositories>
   <repository>
      <id>sshtools</id>
      <name>sshtools</name>
      <url>http://artifactory.javassh.com/opensource-releases</url>
   </repository>
</repositories>

Creating the Terminal Display

import com.sshtools.terminal.vt.awt.AWTTerminalPanel;
import com.sshtools.terminal.vt.awt.AWTScrollBar;
import java.awt.Frame;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;

First off you'll need the actual AWT component. This can be added to your UI as any other component would be.

Frame frame = new Frame("Terminal");
frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
AWTTerminalPanel display = new AWTTerminalPanel();
frame.add(display, BorderLayout.CENTER);

You probably want a scrollbar to allow scrolling back through previous output:

frame.add(new AWTScrollBar(display), BorderLayout.EAST);

Now pack and display your frame:

frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);

You will next need to obtain a reference to the terminal and connect the terminal to a remote host. Return to the article Integrating a Terminal Into Your Application to complete this.
