Package Information

Descriptionconsole input handling library for Java (JLine 4)

JLine is a Java library for handling console input. It is similar in functionality to BSD editline and GNU readline but with additional features that bring it on par with the ZSH line editor.

This package contains JLine 4: the line reader (org.jline.reader), the terminal abstraction (org.jline.terminal) and its JNI terminal provider, and the native library loader. It can be installed together with JLine 3 (libjline3-java).

Comment:
 The orig tarball is repacked (+ds) to drop:
  - prebuilt native libraries for every platform (the JNI library is built
    from native/src/main/native at build time);
  - demo/wget.exe, a prebuilt Windows executable;
  - .mvn, .mvx, mvx and mvx.cmd: Maven extensions (git versioning, release
    tooling) and a launcher that downloads Maven, none usable offline;
  - website/, the documentation web site (not used by the build);
  - the help texts of the nano and less builtins and three nano syntax
    files, copied from GNU nano and less without their licence notices;
    they belong to the builtins, demo and groovy modules, which this
    package does not build.

 Most files carry the short JLine header ("This software is distributable
 under the BSD license"), which refers to LICENSE.txt. The *.caps files in
 terminal/src/main/resources/org/jline/utils are terminal descriptions

Comment:
 ConsoleUI was written by Andreas Wegmann and merged into JLine
 (console-ui/README.md); its sources now carry the JLine BSD-3-clause
 header. This module is not built by this package.
