Package jdk.jshell.tool

package jdk.jshell.tool

Provides a mechanism to launch an instance of a Java shell tool. Allows configuration of the tool before launching. A builder is used to configure and launch the tool.

At the simplest, a builder is retrieved, and the builder is used to start the tool:


      JavaShellToolBuilder
            .builder()
            .start();

The builder can be configured and the start can have arguments:


      JavaShellToolBuilder
            .builder()
            .out(myCommandPrintStream, myOutputPrintStream)
            .locale(Locale.CANADA)
            .start("--feedback", "silent", "MyStart");
