title: Update cells of a table output in terminal in Java
body: <p>I am writing a java program that will run tasks in parallel, which I want to report the status of each task in a table in terminal as it is running. so i would I have something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>TaskName|StartTime|EndTime
  
  Task1   |12:20    |23:56
  
  Task2   |12:23    |--:--
  
  Task3   |--:--    |--:--
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And as each task is kicked off and finished, the table would update in place...
  Is there any easy way to do this in Java? I saw some answers about using \r instead of \n (probably hard for multiline purposes), or using Java Curses library (which i cannot find any documentation on).</p>
  
  <p>Any pointer is appreciated!</p>
