Hello!

I have a thread that listens to a server socket. When a message
arrives, I print it via

System.out.println("...");

While the program is listening and not receiving a message I simply
want to print one dot "." so the user can see the program is still
listening. However, the dots are not printed, they only appear after
another call to println(). I also call flush() after print but it
doesn't flush the buffer.

Does anyone know how to print only a dot without a newline? How?

Are you trying to read from the console too? If that is the case I
think you will be unsuccessful.

From the docs for PrintWriter

"Unlike the PrintStream class, if automatic flushing is enabled it will
be done only when one of the println, printf, or format methods is
invoked, rather than whenever a newline character happens to be output.
These methods use the platform's own notion of line separator rather
than the newline character."

This could be part of the problem too. Maybe it would be better to use
PrintStream rather than PrintWriter.

Oops... I meant PrintStream from the beginning of my posting. So the
subject should read:

"System.out PrintStream print() and flush() not flushing?"

How do I go? Using

System.out.print(".");
System.out.flush();

Does not show the dot immediately as I'd like...
