Simple example not working when run from IntelliJ in Windows

[Alan Evans]

I am using IntelliJ on windows. I have based a simple example on the example here https://github.com/jline/jline2/blob/master/src/test/java/jline/example/Example.java

Jline 2.12

--

package com.example;

import jline.console.ConsoleReader;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

        ConsoleReader reader = new ConsoleReader();
        reader.setPrompt("p> ");

        String line;
        PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(reader.getOutput());

        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
            System.out.println(line);
            out.println("Echo: " + line);
            out.flush();
        }
    }
}

Nothing comes out after the first prompt when I run within IntelliJ.

"C:\Program ...

p> Nothing happens after return

It works when I run in a normal cmd window.

This is symptomatic of System.in not being wrapped in a BufferedReader like so:

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

Can I force this behavior somehow?

Does anyone have a solution for using IntelliJ IDEA with JLine 2?  It seems to be impossible to run JLine apps in Intellil IDEA's debugger since the console input is not being read.  I can see characters I type but they have on effect.  My code looks like:

ConsoleReader console = new ConsoleReader();
console.setPrompt("> ");
String line = null;
while ( (line = console.readLine()) != null ) {
    System.out.println("line='"+line+"'"); // <-- NEVER RUNS IN INTELLIJ
}
