Ah. *puts dumbass hat on*

Slight googlage shows me that if you're using Swing, you could as well 
take the BeanShell (bsh) code, and rip off their JConsole class. Or 
alternatively, look how fxri integrates with irb. And if you care for 
personal opinions, I'd put the prompt into a separate JTextField and let 
the JTextArea show the command echo.
