[armedbear-devel] regarding ticket #87: input history for REPL
We don't necessarily need to use jline for this, there's an utility called rlwrap that provides GNU Readline functionality for the wrapped application. I'm not sure about the availablity of rlwrap on windows, though.

No idea how it works on Windows, but I seem to have line-oriented input-buffer history in ABCL on windows. Bye, Erik.

I wouldn't have thought that rlwrap works on Java programs; still JLine would probably also allow for tab completion. -T.

rlwrap is available on Windows via Cygwin, FWIW. Since it wraps the GNU readline library I wouldn't expect to find a "native" version... Cheers, John :^P -- John Pallister john@johnp.net john@synchromesh.com
Just a note about ABCL on Windows XP, without any JLine/RLWrap/etc. The command history inside ABCL is perserved between runs as long as it is in the same dosbox. So whatever solution is choosen. Only linux needs this help. On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 5:15 AM, John Pallister <john@synchromesh.com> wrote:
