    Default Need a "cls/clear" instruction

    I need a clear instruction like consoles "cls" (windows) and "clear" (linux) instruction.
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("clear");
    doesn't work.

    Console error at program:
    Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "clear": CreateProcess error=2, El sistema no puede encontrar el archivo especificado
    	at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(Unknown Source)
    	at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source)
    	at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source)
    	at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source)
    	at comparator.main(comparator.java:15)
    Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, El sistema no puede encontrar el archivo especificado
    	at java.lang.ProcessImpl.create(Native Method)
    	at java.lang.ProcessImpl.<init>(Unknown Source)
    	at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(Unknown Source)
    	... 5 more

    Class code:

    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.util.Scanner;
    // using basic phone specifications and features I realized that an if or a scanner can work for this java application
     
    public class comparator {
     
    	public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    	String sdcard;
    	Scanner entrys = new Scanner(System.in);
    	// declaring variables
    	System.out.println("Enter the processor you need.");
    	int processors = entrys.nextInt();
    	boolean processorjudgement = (processors >= 2);
    	boolean processorjudgement2 = (processors <= 4);
    	Runtime.getRuntime().exec("clear");
    	System.out.println("Enter the RAM you need.");
    	int ram = entrys.nextInt();
    	Runtime.getRuntime().exec("clear");
    	double androidversion = entrys.nextDouble();
    	Runtime.getRuntime().exec("clear");
    	// declaring entrys methods
    	if (processorjudgement = true) {
    		System.out.println("Processor is powerful but dual-core processors gets lag on Android system, if you want a free lag phone, consider a quad-core");
    		}
    	}
     
     
    	}
    If asking about it, just an Android phone features program, description at comments.

    Doing quick research, I came across Java Curses Library | Free software downloads at SourceForge.net . This forum Clear the Screen - Java talks at length about other methods, but it depends on the platform.
