more info RE: possible Scanner input bug in jshell?

[Yacobellis, Robert]

I should have mentioned this: I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, and I just downloaded the Java 9 jre and jdk yesterday before trying jshell. I've attached a copy of the cmd inputs I typed right up to the point where I press enter in jshell and everything locks up.

Importance: High

Greetings,

I was trying out jshell by printing a prompt to the console and then using a Scanner attached to System.in to read from the keyboard, all in a Windows cmd window. The output works fine, but jshell appears to hang up when doing a Scanner nextLine() method - CTRL-C and CTRL-Z don't interrupt this, so at this point I have to close the cmd window manually.

Is this expected behavior, that Scanner(System.In).nextLine() doesn't connect to keyboard input, or is there something else that I should be doing to make this work?

Thanks,
