Class InteractiveConsole

adalid.util.io.InteractiveConsole
public class InteractiveConsole extends Object
Utility class to attach the current console to a running Process, handling its output and error streams asynchronously while forwarding user input to the process. This version reads both stdout and stderr streams in separate threads to avoid blocking and ensures proper interaction with processes that use stderr for prompts or important messages.
