RFR 8133347: Add makefiles support and basic session, persistence history navigation with jline

[Jan Lahoda]

Hi Sundar,

Regarding the new Console.java, there is a copy of EditingHistory from 
JShell. That implements a support for simpler editing of multi-line 
snippet from history (still somewhat experimental, I think). If that 
would be useful for jjs, then I think we(/I) should work on sharing that 
code between jjs and jshell.

If just a simple persistent history would be desired, then it can be 
simpler, I think. Persistence to Preferences could be done like this:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8133347/Console.java

Persistence to a file could be done using JLine's FileHistory.

Otherwise, looks OK to me (although I am not an expert on the build 
system changes, etc.)
