readline-like library for Java [closed]

Question

Which readline-like library for Java do you use? By 'readline' like library I mean library for editing console input, with support for history, tab-completion, and stuff like this. I'm looking for one, and I cannot choose from so many choices (jLine -- unmaintained, java-readline -- last release on 2003, others?)

Answer 1

I've used JLine to add history, etc. to a Clojure REPL (JVM process) when executed from the command line. It just magically worked and worked well, so I never bothered to investigate anything else.

Thank you for answer. jLine looks good except it is abandoned. I will give it a try and hope for not running into issues :) – Saskatchewan

It seems that Sonatype guys have custom version of JLine (github.com/jdillon/jline2) – Saskatchewan

jline3 is the successor to jline, and it is alive and well: github.com/jline/jline3 – Handball

Answer 2

jruby has an internal readline you could probably call out to.
