That was also my guess after reading Cecil's post.

Then I tried it, and found out I know nothing about jshell.

Whatever order I typed into it, it just gave continuation
prompts or standard prompts.  Sometimes it even went back
to standard prompt before I typed the last close brace, and
whatever I typed, I never got anything back.  Even typing 
   System.out.println(42);
gave me nothing but an empty line and a new prompt...

Most likely I've been doing something wrong...
