I copied one of the existing files in the directory to just adjusted it 
for jdk.jline. So I kept the copyright years there - what is the right 
thing to do here?

JLine uses java.awt.event.ActionListener (which can be registered as 
callbacks - this could be somewhat tricky), java.awt.datatransfer (to 
implement paste), and java.awt.Toolkit (to get the Clipboard). I can 
take a look what could be done about that if needed.

Thanks for the comments!
