.clearScreen() for Screens?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The Terminal class has a clearScreen() function which is pretty handy, but 
Screens don't.  Can I use screen.getTerminal().clearScreen() to clear the 
screen, or is that going to mess with the screen's idea of what's dirty and 
needs to be redrawn?

Agreed; the work-around would be to manually reset the screen by drawing empty 
spaces to it, but there really should be a method for this.

I've added Screen.clear() on 2.0.x branch and deployed an updated 
2.0.1-SNAPSHOT on Maven. Please give it a try!

Hmm, I couldn't get it to work.

First I couldn't find 2.0.1-snapshot on Maven.  I tried Sonatype and it seemed 
to find one those, so I went with that.

Then I tried actually using Screen.clear() and it couldn't find the method.  Is 
2.0.1-snapshot on Sonatype not the right library?

Ah, I think it's in the Sonatype snapshot repository which probably isn't 
available to Maven by default. Found instructions for a completely different 
project at 
https://github.com/thucydides-webtests/thucydides/wiki/Getting-Started which is 
probably what you need, although should be sufficient by just adding:
                <repository>
                    <id>sonatype-oss-snapshots</id>
                    <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
                </repository>
to your settings.xml. I should probably update the instructions on the website 
with this. Alternatively, if you don't mind, you could clone the Mercurial 
repository and mvn clean install the 2.0.x branch.

...I could actually do a 2.0.1 proper release though...

Heh, I'm using Clojure and Leiningen so no settings.xml here.  I tried again 
and this time the snapshot it pulled out of Sonatype seems to have worked. 
Thanks!
