package jdk.jshell.tool
Provides a mechanism to launch an instance of a Java shell tool. Allows configuration of the tool before launching. A builder is used to configure and launch the tool.

At the simplest, a builder is retrieved, and the builder is used to start the tool:

          JavaShellToolBuilder
                .builder()
                .start();

The builder can be configured and the start can have arguments:

          JavaShellToolBuilder
                .builder()
                .out(myCommandPrintStream, myOutputPrintStream)
                .locale(Locale.CANADA)
                .start("--feedback", "silent", "MyStart");
