Scripting for Java
JSR223 "describe mechanisms allowing scripting language programs to access information developed in the Java Platform and allowing scripting language pages to be used in Java Server-side Applications."
This defines a framework to allow scripting language programs to access information developed in the Java platform. We currently plan to integrate this into Mustang for b40. Aside from the framework, we will also include a JavaScript engine based on the Mozilla Rhino implementation. Later, we hope to include a scripting shell that is script language independent. This will be a very cool way to create a prototype, do some exploratory coding, and learn new APIs.
The latest release of Mustang has already included this feature. You can check out the latest release of JavaSE to have a try.
