Java Library for Console Input

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 should work on any Windows system, or any minimally compliant POSIX system (includling Linux and Macintosh OS X).

The platforms on which JLine has been confirmed to work are:

  • Microsoft Windows XP
  • RedHat Linux 9.0
  • Debian Linux 3.0
  • Macintosh OS X 10.3
