I played around with JLine about 2 years ago (integrated it into the
Oscar Shell :-). At that point of time there where a couple of issues
with the implementation namely,

it used shutdown hooks to switch the tty back to buffered mode;
and the native code (which is only used for windows btw.) didn't work
for me under XP.

The shutdown hooks are not really a big issue (and I was able to work
around them) but if they are still used that needs some changes to the
JLine code otherwise one is left with an unbuffered console after the
bundle is stopped.

The native code for windows is more of an issue because clearly the
shell should work under windows.

In summary, could you investigate the current state of JLine in regard
to these issues and let us know whether they have gone away or how you
intent to solve them? Other then that (as I said previously) I'd be
grateful to have a better shell :-)

regards,

Karl
