Terminal Based Progress Bar for Java Applications

Sun, 31 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0100

Recently I needed to add a progress bar to a Java based terminal/console application and I used a specific library that I’d like to demonstrate in the following snippet.

Dependencies

Using Maven, we just need to add the following dependency:

pom.xml

<dependency>
  <groupId>me.tongfei</groupId>
  <artifactId>progressbar</artifactId>
  <version>0.7.3</version>
</dependency>

Sample Application

The application shows how to set up the progress bar and how to advance its status by-one, by a given amount or to a specific number.
