jshell window

[sboesebeck]

Hi,

I switched to nvim with jdtls as main IDE for java a couple of months ago. So far it is working fine.

I was using jshell in my project (a really great feature) and noticed that the buffer it is opened in is kind of a temporary one. It means, when switching back to another buffer, the jshell is just gone. If I open it, a new shell is spawned.

Is that something wrong with my config? Did I miss something or is that working as it is supposed to work? If so, would that be a complex feature to implement?

It opens jshell in a terminal buffer, using the current window.
If you switch to another buffer it should still keep the jshell around, unless you're using nohidden.

You could use something like :sp | JdtJshell to ensure it gets its own window.

when I look at my processes, the jshells are indeed still running. But I cannot get them "back"!

But your tip works great - thanks, that solved it!

I just realized that buflisted wasn't set. So it didn't appear in buffers or when switching with :bnext. (I use https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-qwahl to switch buffers, and it by defaults includes unlisted buffers)

Can you try with #404 ?

I just tried it - now it is listed as a standard buffer and I can switch back and forth... Thanks!
