TextAreaReadline was dependent on the implementation of our readline library, and as such it was pulled out to a separate jar file, lib/ruby/stdlib/readline.jar, with its jline dependency under lib/ruby/stdlib/jline/jline//jline-.jar.

If you are compiling directly against that class we'll have to figure out a way to make it available to you, perhaps by pushing a maven artifact for the JRuby readline jar (cc @mkristian). May I ask what you are using TextAreaReadline for?

yes, we can publish the old readline jar as jruby-readline.jar or so if this helps.

@pdhimal1 not clear to which version of jruby you are trying to upgrade ?

@headius @mkristian thank you both for quick replies.

Tab completion does not work with our current version 1.7.4. Shooting for 1.7.27 if the update is smooth. Any version that supports tab completion will be fine.

If you can publish the old readline jar as jruby-readline.jar, that will be great!

Let me know of any updates.

According to this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13381560/how-to-enable-irb-tab-completion-in-jruby, tab complete stopped working with 1.7.0?

Is there a way to fix tab complete in 1.7.4? This will the easiest way to fix my problem for the moment. I would still like to be able to update though.

Thanks,
Prakash

@pdhimal1 you could try jruby-1.7.27 and install one of the older jruby-readline gems from here: http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cgav%7C1%7Cg%3A%22rubygems%22%20AND%20a%3A%22jruby-readline%22
but I can not tell you where and if the tab-completion works with any of these

@mkristian thank you for the solution. I will close this issue now.
