console menu using java
 

I'm trying to get back into coding, using java in particular. I'm writing a console-based game, which is going to be turn-based with several sets of menus. I'm having problems right off the start with static and non-static content. I'm wondering if java is a good language to use for this since the the way I would need to use the menus really doesn't go along with the object-oriented programming approach ?
Has anyone had success doing anything like this ? I would post the code but I'm writing on my home pc over ssh and it won't let me copy/paste.

You certainly can write static only classes and applications in Java.
Why you think your menu management doesn't fit with the OO model ?

Just scp any code over that you need to copy/paste and do it that way.
