NetBeans headless platform application: read from stdin

Hi,

I'm following this guide:
http://wiki.netbeans.org/DevFaqNonGuiPlatformApp

I would like to create a shell environment based on the NetBeans platform where the user runs my application from a command line and then interacts with it using a custom set of commands.  

However, I can't read from the System.in.  read calls do not block and return -1.  

Here is my project.properties file where the run arguments are concerned:

Code:

run.args.extra=--nosplash --nogui




I've also added this:  

Code:

-J-Djava.awt.headless=true 



but it made no difference.

Here is my restored() code from my ModuleInstall implementation:


Code:

    @Override
    public void restored() {
        System.out.println("****** started *******");
        
        BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        
        try {
            String s = r.readLine();
            System.out.println("s: " + s);
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Exceptions.printStackTrace(ex);
        }
    }




The stdout writes work corretly.

s in this case is null and it does not block.

Any ideas?
