Answer 1

In jshell you can save the current snippets into a file by issuing:

/save Filename

Likewise, you can load the file into the current context/session by issuing:

/open Filename

Here is one such example:

|  Welcome to JShell -- Version 9.0.7.1
|  For an introduction type: /help intro

jshell> String[] names={"nameone","nametwo"}
names ==> String[2] { "nameone", "nametwo" }

jshell> Arrays.toString(names);
$2 ==> "[nameone, nametwo]"

jshell> /save myExample

jshell> %                                                                                                                                             sudipbhandari at sysadm-Latitude-5480 in ~                                                                                                      18:22
