I would suggest that libjline-java be promoted from 'recommended' to 'necessary', at least for Linux installs. I have yet to use Linux software with a CLI that does not support command history. Just a suggestion.
So I have libjline-java installed on my system, and added this line to the basexclient script: find_jars /usr/share/doc/libjline-java 2>/dev/null but command history still does not work. Do I need to do something else? Thank you.
