- Backspace functionality for line input is preserved.
- Ctrl-C (SIGINT) is also preserved in windows
2. Uses native calls via JNA (instead of shell execution) for linux & mac terminal configuration
3. Supports unsupported teminals (for example, while in an IDE ), so in.read() will still return (a line is split into chars, then fed to consumer). The enter key must still be pressed.
4. Multi-threaded, intelligent buffering of command input for simultaneous input readers on different threads
There is a hard dependency in the POM file for the utilities library, which is an extremely small subset of a much larger library; including only what is *necessary* for this particular project to function.
This project is **kept in sync** with the utilities library, so "jar hell" is not an issue. Please note that the util library (in it's entirety) is not added since there are **many** dependencies that are not *necessary* for this project. No reason to require a massive amount of dependencies for one or two classes/methods.
