title: Libraries for constructing an interactive shell for Java application
body: <p>I am looking for libraries for Java that will allow me to create an interactive shell. I have done some search around and have not turned up a whole lot. Most of what I have found is libraries for adding command argument parsing to my application which does not help me a lot.</p>
  
  <p>The best lead I have found is a library called <a href="https://code.google.com/p/cliche/">Cliche</a> which does exactly what I need. The problem is its too simple. I am looking for something that has more customization.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone come across something a little more advanced?</p>
