What sort of requirements does it have on platform, resources, etc?
Anyone can find more information on:
http://jline.sourceforge.net/
By looking at the pom it seems that JLine rely on standard JRE 1.3,
and even if it's not pure Java it runs on Linux, Mac OS X and
Windows. For windows it loads an internal DLL and on the other
platform it uses the stty command.
Having native code automatically means it is restricted to certain
platforms, therefore I would suggest to not make this part of the
shell TUI itself, since that would mean it would not work everywhere
(think embedded platforms here, I agree that the Windows, Mac and
Unix support covers most desktop platforms).
In my opinion, we should either make it some kind of extension, or
create a second TUI implementation altogether.
