JDK 9 Jshell REPL

[paulvi]

JDK 9 http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk9/ will be released in Sept 2016, and will come with built-in REPL called jshell. http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/222

Imaging when you can see your data and can pass command to change the data (e.g. a call to a method with specific parameter). It is like molding experience. Possible not only for developers.

As of October 2015 jshell was not yet integrated into JDK, I will try it again in December.
