How do I clear the terminal screen on a java text application?

I have a text-based client, that runs on UNIX.

I'd like to know if it's possible to get something similiar to the "clear" command. I tried using Runtime, but it does nothing, cuz it opens another shell to execute the command.

How do I clear the screen on MY execution. Is it possible?

Thanks,

Christian
