ProgressBar

This is a simple console progressbar for Java. It can be used in CLI programs to display progress for long tasks.

It was born because I could not find a simple progress bar implementation for console based Java applications.

The inspiration came from visionmedia's node-progress.

Usage

ProgressBar progressBar = ConsoleProgressBar.on(System.out);
progressBar.tickOne();
// do something
progressBar.tick(25); // this will increase the percentage to 26
// do the rest
progerssBar.finish(); // this will finish it

Example output

[==================================--------------------------]  57.00% 393ms

Advanced configuration

ProgressBar progressBar = ConsoleProgressBar.on(System.out)
    .withFormat("[:bar] :percent% :elapsed/:total ETA: :eta")
    .withTotalSteps(500);

Available replacers for format

• :bar the progress bar
• :elapsed the elapsed time since the start() or the first tick()
• :percent the percentage without the percent sign
• :eta the estimated time to accomplish
• :total the total time to complete

TODOs

• it does not check whether the progressbar has been finished or not, so don't call finish() more than once
