Java REPL for Eclipse Luna

Hey there,

I'm using the Eclipse Luna for my IDE. I can't find a plug-in in the marketplace or via google that will allow me to replicate Read-Evaluate-Print Loop functionality within Eclipse Luna. Does anyone know where I can find a plug-in or solution that will allow me this functionality inside my Eclipse IDE?

It looks like it is currently only available for the IntelliJ IDE. You can run it locally on your machine using this download.

Just run:

java -jar javarepl.jar

Got it. Thanks for confirming my options. I appreciate the help.

Just FYI: The plugin version of javarepl (303) is incompatible with 2016.1.3 IntelliJ (OSX 10.11). You -can- however, open a terminal inside of IntelliJ, then run repl from there as Craig suggested (requires the version number in the command though)

      java -jar javarepl-XXX.jar

From what I can see there's nothing like that in Eclipse, there's talks of adding repl like functionality into the main java language, but as of right now There doesn't appear to be anything near completion.

Eclipse Scrapbooks are about as close as it gets: This is a nice video tutorial on how to use them.
