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?

Treehouse TeacherIt 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

5,521 PointsJust 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
