Description
Provide an interactive tool to evaluate declarations, statements, and expressions of the Java programming language, together with an API so that other applications can leverage this functionality. Adds Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL) functionality for Java. The `jshell` tool accepts "snippets" of Java code, evaluating them and immediately displaying the results. Snippets include variable and method declarations without enclosing class. An expression snippet immediately shows its value. The `jshell` tool also accepts commands for displaying and controlling snippets. The `jshell` tool is built on the JShell API, making the evaluation of snippets of Java code available any Java program.
