Paul King updated GROOVY-8162:
------------------------------
    Description: 
Groovysh currently uses https://github.com/jline/jline2 which is no longer 
supported. It should be updated to use https://github.com/jline/jline3

UPDATE (from recent ):

Things that I know need some work:
* The /grab completer completes maven coordinates based on dependencies found 
in the users ~/.m2/repository directory. We might like to allow that to be 
configured to use ~/.groovy/grapes or a URL to maven central.
* Theme support is "enabled" for syntax highlighting and existing commands let 
you switch e.g. between light and dark highlighting, but I don't know what 
parts are actually affected when you make such changes.
* There are some completers like BackslashEscapeCompleter that are only in the 
old version.
* There is a rudimentary DocFinder class that looks up javadoc and groovydoc 
using a browser. Our old version also handled GDK documentation and had 
fallbacks if browsers weren't found. See also: 
https://github.com/jline/jline3/blob/master/demo/src/main/scripts/init.jline
* Many switches and system properties haven't been converted over
* I18N message resources are rather limited in the new version
* Interpreter mode hasn't been looked at
* testing on various platforms
* test suite is hard-coded to JLine2 implementation details in numerous places
