How to import external libraries in jshell java 9?
I tried with 9 Build 162 Linux 64-bit
with preparation:
- Downloaded
guava-19.0.jar
andcommons-lang3-3.4.jar
to/opt/libs
The following options are available:
Specify
CLASSPATH
environment variable:$> CLASSPATH="/opt/libs/commons-lang3-3.4.jar:/opt/libs/guava-19.0.jar" bin/jshell
Specify classpath with jshell option:
$> bin/jshell --class-path /opt/libs/guava-19.0.jar:/opt/libs/commons-lang3-3.4.jar
Configure evaluation context within jshell session with command
/env
,/reset
or/reload
(these commands are different, you can check out with its help info), take/env
as example:jshell> /env -class-path /opt/libs/commons-lang3-3.4.jar:/opt/libs/guava-19.0.jar
And then you're able to either import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils
or import com.google.common.base.Optional;
.
- You can load maven artifacts into JShell through this (modified) version of JShell.
- It also supports /cls command to clear JShell Console. See Maven Example below.
