Good day everyone, I have a question. I am constructing a timer in Java console, wherein this timer should be located in one corner (such as upper right). I can only make it count up on its own place. My question is how can I place the code on the upper right corner?

import java.awt.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class timerForJobs
{
	public static void main(String args[])
	{
		Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
		int duration = 0;

		try
		{
			System.out.print("Input duration in seconds: ");
			duration = keyboard.nextInt();

			Thread.sleep(1000);

			for(int i = 0; i <= duration; i++)
			{
				System.out.print(i + "\r");
			    Thread.sleep(1000);
			}

        	System.out.println("Job terminated.");
		}
		catch(InterruptedException e) { }
	}
}

in a command prompt? don't think that's possible.
