Package: libjline-java
Version: 0.9.94-5
Severity: normal

On #clojure @ irc.freenode.net, a helpful respondent reviewing this bug suggested I
use rlwrap as a workaround.  This works for me, and adds some more features a like
that actually make it preferable to jline, such as reverse-incremental-search and
paren flashing, so:

rlwrap java -cp /usr/share/java/clojure.jar clojure.main

Repeating my test case from before, the "hello world" line is properly displayed.
