Why? Java was designed to be cross-platform. Many platforms, like appliances, phones, Java
Cards and the like, don't have consoles at all. Not to mention that character user interfaces are going the way of the buggy whip. If you want a GUI, use AWT, Swing or SWT. If you REALLY want a character user interface, use a language that has the features you need (the right tool for the job and so on).
