Re: [Jython-dev] Command history problems in rc1

[Jim H. <ji...@my...>]

I'm surprised there isn't better readline support in the JDK.  From poking
around a bit I'm finding the console support in Java to be terrible.

Has anyone tried making a very basic AWT (or Swing) app out of the jython
interpreter?  This way it looks like an interpreter but can use the AWT's
Keyevents, which do support the up arrow.  Having Jython run in a frame with a
textarea should be all that's needed.  It should then be able to read and
append to the text area as usual.
