I know in the Scala community, a number of people launch the REPL/interpreter with rlwrap (http://utopia.knoware.nl/~hlub/uck/rlwrap/man.html) which provides history, editing, etc.
I'd been thinking for awhile this would be a good community project for the JVM Languages community--having a shared console (command-line, Swing) infrastructure as well as standardizing on something like the Nailgun background service daemon. There are some projects around consoles that could be a starting point http://code.google.com/p/scriptconsole4j/, http://scriptlandia.blogspot.com/, as well as the many console-type apps that different language implementors have built.
