[forge-dev] jreadline instead of jline?

["Ståle W. Pedersen"]

hi, sorry for the late reply, i had some trouble with my vpn.
currently jreadline can be found here: https://github.com/stalep/jreadline
ive uploaded it to maven repo via nexus.

the pull to integrate it with jboss-cli:
https://github.com/stalep/jboss-as/commit/104912002dfc879a2fc8338e317f88d2ca021264

regarding https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-553 i just tested in 
jreadline now and i can type chars like: ã,â,ä,Õ,Ö,õ + ive tested with 
norwegian chars like å,ø,æ.
- let me know if any of you have tested it with these chars and have 
different result.

regarding the key benefits ill say it has a better key handling, vi(!!) 
and emacs mode, undo, redo, easy to configure with different settings, 
partial completes (similar to bash), ++
- no more files thats read to enable key bindings (in the future ill 
support changing key bindings by inputrc).

some of the issues that's found in jline/jline2 with multiple line 
breaks is working in jreadline.
- im not saying jreadline is without bugs, but if/when you find any or 
have any feature requests ill try to respond quickly.

regards, ståle
ps: just to be clear, i started jreadline because i was tired of seeing 
many pull requests to jline/jline2 being ignored for a long time. so one 
weekend i sat down and started this...
