Module jdk.jshell
The jdk.jshell is the package for creating 'snippet' evaluating tools.
Generally, this is only package that would be needed for creating tools.
The jdk.jshell.spi package specifies a Service Provider Interface (SPI)
for defining execution engine implementations for tools based on the
jdk.jshell API. The jdk.jshell.execution package provides
standard implementations of jdk.jshell.spi interfaces and supporting code. It
also serves as a library of functionality for defining new execution engine
implementations.
The jdk.jshell.tool package supports programmatically launching the
jshell tool.
The jdk.jshell.execution package contains implementations of the
interfaces in jdk.jshell.spi. Otherwise, the four packages are
independent, operate at different levels, and do not share functionality or
definitions.
