<subsection name="BeanShell (Interpretative Java)">
<p>
&quot;BeanShell is a small, free, embeddable, Java source interpreter
with object scripting language features, written in Java. BeanShell
executes standard Java statements and expressions, in addition to
obvious scripting commands and syntax. BeanShell supports scripted
objects as simple method closures like those in Perl and
JavaScript(tm).&quot;

<subsection name="Groovy">
<p>
&quot;Groovy is a powerful scripting language for the JVM which compiles down to Java bytecode and implements
various high level features for Java developers such as dynamic typing, powerful closures for neat object navigation,
native syntax for Maps and Lists, operator overloading, new extended JDK methods, AOP hooks and auto-boxing.
Groovy also features a markup language for working with structured data (XML, DOM, SAX, Ant tasks, Swing etc).

<p>
&quot;<a href="http://groovy.codehaus.org/Groovy+Monkey">Groovy Monkey</a> is a
dynamic scripting tool for the Eclipse Platform/RCP that enables you to
automate tasks, explore the Eclipse API and engage in rapid prototyping.
Groovy Monkey makes use of the BSF framework to allow users to write scripts
in Beanshell, Groovy or the Ruby language. If you have ever wanted to be
able to quickly experiment with or write simple automation tasks for the
Eclipse environment, this is the tool for you.

<subsection name="JLog (PROLOG in Java)">
<p>
&quot;Prolog is a logic-oriented language based on predicate calculus. While it is not
really a scripting language, there is a range of problems that are much easier to
express in it than in Java, and for these cases a Prolog BSF engine comes in handy.
It is also useful for adding a GUI to Prolog programs.
The underlying Prolog interpreter is JLog, which can be run as an applet, an application
or embedded through an API, and can be found at <a href="http://sf.net/projects/jlogic/">http://sf.net/projects/jlogic/</a>.&quot;

<br></br>
The non-profit SIG Rexx Language Association (<a href="http://www.RexxLA.org">http://www.RexxLA.org</a>)
received the source code from IBM at the end of 2004 and released an opensource version
to the community in the spring of 2005.

program (BSF.CLS) which camouflages Java as ooRexx, easying programming
considerably (e.g. no need for type information/casting).&quot;

<subsection name="ObjectScript">
<p>
&quot;ObjectScript is a general purpose object-oriented programming language. It is designed to
be simple to learn, easy to use, yet still powerful, combining the convenience of an
interactive interpreter with many of the features of Java, plus operator overloading,
regular expressions, closures, XML-RPC support, etc. And a behind the scenes compiler
compiles script code to JVM bytecode for faster execution.&quot;

<subsection name="Xalan/XSLT">
<p>
&quot;Xalan-Java is an XSLT processor for transforming XML documents into
HTML, text, or other XML document types. It implements the W3C
Recommendations for XSL Transformations (XSLT) and the XML Path
Language (XPath). It can be used from the command line, in an applet
or a servlet, or as a module in other program.
</p>
<p><em>Hint:</em>
Starting with Sun's Java 1.4SE a W3C compliant set of classes for XSLT is part
of the runtime environment.&quot;, <em>however</em>, with other versions of
Java or newer versions of Xalan distributions you <em>may</em> need to explicitly extract the
archive
<em><code>xalan.jar</code></em> and put it into the <code>CLASSPATH</code>
environment variable or alternatively, copy it into the Java <em><code>endorsed</code></em> or
<em><code>ext</code></em>ension directory of your
Java distribution (usually in <code>$(JAVA_JRE_HOME)/jre/lib/{endorsed|ext}</code>). The download
site of Xalan (Java version) is at: <a href="http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/downloads.html">http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/downloads.html</a>
<br></br>
(You can determine quite easily whether you need to do that: just try to run the <code>xslt</code> sample
of the BSF distribution. If you encounter the error <code> 'Could not compile stylesheet'</code>, then
you need to explicitly supply the <code>xalan.jar</code> from the Xalan distribution.)
