TelnetStdioRedirector - A Telnet server to redirect stdin/stdout

The Java class TelnetStdioRedirector implements a minimalist embedded Telnet server, that redirects the standard input/output streams of the Java runtime library (System.in, out and err) to a connecting Telnet client. In addition, it provides an interface to read single keystrokes without echo and optionally without blocking.

It can be used for example to implement:

• a debugging interface for Android GUI applications
• an admin interface for a Java batch processing program running as a background service on a server
• any backdoor-like remote command-line interface for a Java application

Since normal i/o through System.in and System.out is used to communicate with the connected Telnet client, the same application program code can also be used with local console i/o.
