I'm keen to run JShell through Eclipse rather than from the command line directly. I found various instructions online about setting up an external tool (here's one example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1562600/is-there-an-eclipse-plugin-to-run-system-shell-in-the-console)

I tried using these instructions to run JShell and it *almost* works -- jshell will launch, but it doesn't seem to be interactive. That is, it won't respond to anything I've typed. See below:

index.php/fa/30212/0/

I have verified that "Allocate console" is checked in the launch configuration. Anything else to try?

If it's relevant, here's my Eclipse version info:
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers

Perhaps JShell uses java.io.Console? See https://bugs.eclipse.org/122429
But judging from the that bug, requesting a Console would then simply return null, so JShell might actually NPE or similer.
