title: JShell won't execute anything using Git Bash
body: <p>I installed Java9 (currently available version on <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk9-downloads-3848520.html" rel="noreferrer">Oracle's site</a>) for Windows (Windows 10 x64 Professional, up to date as well, runs as a vmware virtual machine->VMware Workstation 12). I added the <code>jdk\bin</code> to the User's Path and tried to use <a href="https://git-scm.com/downloads" rel="noreferrer">Git Bash</a> to execute commands, but even though <code>JShell</code> launches, it won't execute any command after pressing <code>Enter</code>, it just sits there without doing anything.</p>
  
  <p>Interesting thing is it works perfectly with Windows's default command line <code>CMD</code>or <code>Powershell</code>. If I recall correctly Git Bash is <a href="http://www.cygwin.com/" rel="noreferrer">Cygwin</a> based. What can be the cause of this?</p>
  
  <p>Also, It is not connected directly to <code>JShell</code>, but I had similar problems on a different machine with some command line tools, like <a href="http://www.jhipster.tech/" rel="noreferrer">JHipster</a> (works on CMD but not on GitBash). </p>

  <p>Edit.: Using <code>jshell -v</code> does not make a difference. Also, using any of the REPL helper commands, like <code>/help</code> or <code>/help intro</code> makes the shell to stop too.</p>
