Original

Description

JLine is a Java library for handling console input. It is similar in functionality to BSD editline and GNU readline. People familiar with the readline/editline capabilities for modern shells (such as bash and tcsh) will find most of the command editing features of JLine to be familiar.

JLine 2.x is an evolution of JLine 1.x which was previously maintained at SourceForge.

JLine 2.x development has come to an end, and users are encouraged to investigate the use of JLine 3.x instead.
