[scala-tools] Adding dependency on jline to compiler pom

[Josh Suereth]

Does anyone have any reason why we should *not* add the jline artifact as a dependency of scala-compiler from 2.8.0 on?  I believe it's an optional dependency, but adding it in the pom will make life easier for maven-repo-aware dependency managers.

it's optional (only for REPL) => you suggest to add it with <optional>true</optional> in the pom ?

note : maven-scala-plugin 2.11-SNAPSHOT add jline in the classpath when calling scala:console (useless in other case)

I don't know if this is relevant, but when I have the eclipse scala builder enabled and run a maven build from eclipse with the maven scala plugin, I get an error along the lines that _jline.dll was already loaded in the classloader.

Depending on your maven version, this is probably due to JLine + OSGi classpath magic not working nicely together.  In fact, currently that should *not* be happening with 2.8.0-SNAPSHOT because jline does not show up with the scala-compiler.
