If I pass in the options to jython as

jython -Dpython.console=org.python.core.ReadlineConsole
-Dpython.console.readlinelib=GnuReadline ipython.py

I get colors (yay!)
and tab completion (yay! :)

However, it turns out that with this setup, the console has problems echoing 
(displaying) the line contents and the position of the cursor when
-backspace has been pressed
-left arrow has been pressed

:(

I also saw an extra character popped to the display after using tab
completion. The actual parsed line did not however contain the extra
displayed character.
