jconsole uses editline (similar to readline, but without the 'viral' gpl license). Years ago jconsole used readline (when it was lgpl) but moved to editline when new versions of readline were made gpl. This has been a continuing source of agro. I now think I was over zealous and likely the next J release will move jconsole back to using readline.
Note that editline is configurable and with some effort one might be able to make it work more like readline.
