I'm trying to integrate JLine into my console application but I cannot get readLine() to work.
I'm basically doing the following:
ConsoleReader reader = new ConsoleReader();
String input = reader.readLine("input> ");
but readLine doesn't wait for the ENTER key, and returns immediately after the first key is pressed.
This happens on Windows (using JDK 1.6_0_18) and Ubuntu (JDK 1.6.0_2)
Can I configure JLine so that readLine() waits until the ENTER key is pressed or do I need to do that myself?
Thanks

OK, I found the reason.
Apparently there is a problem when System.console() is also used after JLine has been initialized.
After I removed calls to System.console() JLine is now working properly.
