As long as your work-to-home doesn't block RMI ports, you could run it  
locally, but I am guessing that is not going to satisfy your intent.

Historically, there was no good readline/termio handling in Java which  
is why Mulgara has a Swing-based shell. It is perhaps time to consider  
some modern shell implementations that speak REST/SOAP.
