in reply to New JAVA Specification

Actually, there's been a framework to embed scripting language support into Java applications for a (relatively) long time.

Those interested can have a look at IBM Developerworks' BSF project that offers support for embedding a variety of scripting languages into Java applications.

Of course, it's nice that SUN now is on a similar track.

Just my 2 cents, -gjb-

    I thought that Java is a scripting language? Whats the difference for this "even more so" support than Java itself?

      No, javascript is a scripting language.

        I wasn't referring to JavaScript. I was referring the Java, the scripting language with the source->bytecode compiler javac and the bytecode interpreting VM java. Just because it happens to have a slow compiler that obliges keeping the compiler separate from the VM doesn't mean it isn't a scripting language.
