[11u] Do you have a plan to upgrade JDK11's JLine to 3.14.0 ?

[Langer, Christoph]

Hi Ichiroh,

do I understand correctly, that your scenario works with 11.0.8 but now fails with 11.0.9? Then I guess it would be a regression introduced with the backport of JDK-8229815: Upgrade Jline to 3.12.1 [0].

I'm currently not aware of plans to also backport JDK-8241598: Upgrade JLine to 3.14.0 [1] to 11u. Also Oracle didn't backport it into their 11u release.

So I fear if you're interested in getting the issue fixed, you'll need to investigate and see whether it can be fixed, either on top of 3.12.1 or by proposing a backport change for JDK-8241598. But I'm not sure on whether the latter one would be accepted.

Best regards
Christoph
