What's new with Scripting for the Java platform?

Sorry about the looo..ng hibernation! Now, it is time for updates on the Scripting project.

1. Yoko Harada updated JRuby script engine with JRuby 1.0.2 and added few other fixes in engine code.
2. I've pre-built binaries of the project (uploaded the .zip and .tar.gz files)

1. JavaFX Script interpreter had jsr-223 support. Now, the JavaFX Script compiler has jsr-223 support -- you may want to checkout JavaFX Script compiler project. The following code works as expected:

   
   import javax.script.*;
   
   public class Test {
       public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
           ScriptEngineManager m = new ScriptEngineManager();
           ScriptEngine e = m.getEngineByName("javafx");
           e.eval("<<java.lang>>.System.out.println(\"hello\");");
       }
   }
   
   

   Please note that you need to build JavaFX Script compiler by checking out sources from the SVN repository and put the jar in the CLASSPATH.
2. Xavier Clerc sent a link to the jsr-223 script engine for the Object Caml language. Thanks!
3. Alexandre Bergel sent a link to the jsr-223 script engine for the Smalltalk language. Thanks!
