Choosing a Java scripting language: Round two

submited by krishnas on Tue Aug 14th, 2007

Three years ago, I wrote an article for JavaWorld called "Java Scripting Languages: Which Is Right for You?" When I collected the interpreters to compare, I tried to choose ones that seemed a good fit for a demanding commercial application. Ideally, I wanted an interpreter that would ease the extension of the application's user interface, have readable scripting code, be reliable, fast, well-supported, well-documented, and complete. At that time, I narrowed the list down to Jacl, Jython, Rhino, and BeanShell.
