Keep part of code that prints output in terminal after JavaFX?

[erisjacey]

I'm not sure whether this is a discussion worth having, but I have this small query:

I have integrated JavaFX into my project and now have a fully functional (albeit ugly-looking) GUI. I'm assuming this is the main platform users will be interacting on/with.

Does that mean the part of the code that deals with printing output onto the terminal (i.e. how we've been interacting with the user prior) is now rendered obsolete? Should I remove it to prevent unncessary bloat in my code?

The only purpose I see in keeping it right now is the fact that if I remove it, it'd be hard to do semi-automated testing using the provided .bat/.sh file, but I think unit testing using JUnit seems far more efficient as a form of automated testing.

Could anyone shed some light on this? Any comments would be appreciated!

From iP requirements POV, there is no need to keep the CLI but you are welcome to keep it if you think the benefits outweigh the costs.
