Andrew McIntyre commented on DERBY-2255:
----------------------------------------
Checked with the _6 patch and the current Mac OS JVMs and was unable to
reproduce the previous behavior that I had noted, where semicolons were no
longer accepted a statement and it was impossible to get out of comment mode.
+1 to commit.
> ij should indicate that it is waiting for more input in a multi-line
> interactive statement.

> Many users have been confused by the lack of response from ij when they
> forget to end a statement with a semicolon, and believe that Derby is taking
> its sweet time answering their query, while ij is simply waiting for more
> input.
> This issue tries to address this by adding a short "> " prompt to the next
> line after a newline has been entered by the user without ending the
> statement with a semicolon.
