Description

Java-Readline is a port of GNU Readline for Java. Or, to be more precise, it is a JNI-wrapper to Readline. It is distributed under the LGPL.

You must call Readline.load(ReadlineLibrary lib); before using any other methods. If you omit the call to the load()-method, the pure Java fallback solution is used. Possible values for lib are:

ReadlineLibrary.PureJava ReadlineLibrary.GnuReadline ReadlineLibrary.Editline ReadlineLibrary.Getline

Note that all programs using GnuReadline will fall under the GPL, since Gnu-Readline is GPL software!

In the other systems

The newest version among them is 0.8.0, as upstream numbers it.
