+Subject: Relocate jline in shading plugin
+
+For Hive 4.0.1 the dependency loading is a mess. We explicitly shade jline to avoid a schematool dependency problem:
+
+Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void org.jline.reader.impl.completer.StringsCompleter.<init>(org.jline.reader.Candidate[])'
+    at sqlline.SqlLineOpts.setOptionCompleters(SqlLineOpts.java:160)
+    at sqlline.Application.getCommandHandlers(Application.java:294)
+    at sqlline.SqlLine$Config.<init>(SqlLine.java:1946)
+    at sqlline.SqlLine.setAppConfig(SqlLine.java:1875)
+    at sqlline.SqlLine.<init>(SqlLine.java:229)
+    at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.tools.schematool.MetastoreSchemaTool.execSql(MetastoreSchemaTool.java:313)
+
+This does not affect versions >= 4.1.x since the non shaded jar is used.
