until he guesses the number. But I noticed when I run the program, Eclipse
puts the blinking cursor in the wrong spot. The first few lines of output
are:
Welcome to the Guessing Game.
Enter an integer between 1 and 10:
Eclipse positions the blinking cursor right before the 'W' in 'Welcome'.
Seems to me it should be positioned after the colon in 10.
Likewise, if the user guesses incorrectly, the following lines run:
Try again...
Enter an integer between 1 and 10:
Again, Eclipse positions the cursor in front of the 'T' in 'Try'.
Anyone know of why this is? And i don't suppose there is a way to fix it.

Hi. I take it you're using the Eclipse console to simulate the system
console? I've noticed a similar thing in the Eclipse console. I just
ignored it. For me, as soon as I entered input, the cursor moved to the
correct position. I wasn't too worried about it, since I was just using
the console for testing and learning purposes.
Have you tried exporting to a JAR and running the program at your system
console? I think you might find that this is fine, in which case this
would seem to be more or less a cosmetic bug? Hope this helps. Mark Dexter
