Charles: where can I find you're patches to JLine, in the sourceforge
bug tracker?

As for the alternatives, I think what Per writes is certainly doable,
but it sounds a bit complicated to me... also, I would be heavily
interested in an as much as possible pure Java solution, if only for
ease of development. Using a JNI interface to readline would probably
work and make deployment ok, but I'm not sure of the license
consequences - GPL is probably not acceptable for many users.

Or did you mean using a JNI interface to directly call the respective
syscalls to read single keystrokes? The JLine approach of using a dll
on Windows and stty calls on UNIXes seems to work, as far as I can
see.

JLine will probably never be absolutely readline compatible, but I'd
personally prefer a Java solution which I can easily hook into my Java
project and fiddle with through extension etc. instead of a C native
library or telnet style setup.

Has anyone tried how/if a combination of JLine (or something similar)
and Nailgun works?

My personal wish for this would be that someone (Sun?) turns up and
provides a repository system like a cross between Maven, Apt, and OSGi
together with the JVM, a proper isolation of apps within one JVM
including a Thread.kill, and building on that an improved nailgun.

Regards,
Martin
