BeanShell
|
"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)."

Rhino
|
"Rhino is an open-source implementation of JavaScript written
entirely in Java. It is typically embedded into Java applications
to provide scripting to end users."
|
|
Jython
|
"Jython is an implementation of the high-level, dynamic,
object-oriented language Python written in 100% Pure Java, and
seamlessly integrated with the Java platform. It thus allows you
to run Python on any Java platform."

Jacl
|
"Jacl, which stands for Java Command Language, is a Java implementation
of TCL 8.x."
|
|
NetRexx
|
"NetRexx is a human-oriented programming language which makes
writing and using Java classes quicker and easier than writing in
Java."
|
|
JRuby
|
"JRuby is a pure Java implementation of the Ruby interpreter,
being developed by Jan Arne Petersen and others."
|
|
JudoScript
|
"Judoscript is a 3GL-and-4GL; it retains 3GL's powerful
programmability, and extends its reach into many of today's popular
applications areas with 4GL approach (figuratively, "WYSIWYG
programming"), making their uses easy, effective and elegant."

|
Xalan
|
"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."

|
Groovy
|
"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).
"

ObjectScript
|
"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."
|

Prolog
|
"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 http://sf.net/projects/jlogic/.

ooRexx
|
"Open Object Rexx (ooRexx, http://www.ooRexx.org) is a free
and opensource language, which was originally developed by IBM.
The non-profit SIG Rexx Language Association (http://www.RexxLA.org)
received the source code from IBM and released an opensource version
to the community in 2005.
The BSF engine for Rexx (BSF4Rexx) comes with an ooRexx wrapper
program (BSF.CLS) which camouflages Java as ooRexx, easying programming
considerably (e.g. no need for type information/casting).
