Answer 1

class ClearScreen
     public static void main(String[] args)
          //  The following code needs ansi.sys added to config.sys
          //  DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ANSI.SYS
//          char esc = 27;
//          String clear = esc + "[2J";
//          System.out.print(clear);
          //  this will work in all cases
          for (int i = 0; i < 250; i++)
               System.out.println();
}
