public class Console
extends java.lang.Object

This class represents an input/output console for the program running in JDI. This class will open a window with a TextArea and a TextField. The TextArea will be the output from stdout and stderr. The TextField is where the user can enter text that will then be fed to the program's stdin. The Console runs in its own thread, and has an OutputThread as its child.
