Scripting in Java 6
In case you are interested, there is a new API, that supports a standard interface to any compliant scripting engine, within the javax.script package in Java 6. John Hunt over at Reg Developer has a great educational article on this API and how you can use it:
In an ideal world, rather than invent our own scripting engine we could have used an existing engine, one that supported a well-known or standardised language. Such engines are now available and indeed implementations for Java can be obtained both commercially and as open source projects. However, such engines each tend to have their own interface and standards.
Java Standard Edition 6.0 introduces a new API that supports a standard interface to any compliant scripting engine. This feature allows different scripting engines to be plugged in, but all are accessed in the same way, through a standard API.

October 17, 2006 Meeting info
This month we are changing things up a little more with nothing but lightning talks. Each talk will be about 15 - 20 minutes, with a little time at the end for questions. We do not intend to do this for every meeting, but this does give people a chance to get up in front of a (mostly) harmless group and talk about something they are interested in.
- An Introduction to Closures - Blaine Buxton
- Driving Selenium with Groovy - Kyle Dyer
- Code Coverage tools - Scott Hickey
- Using CruiseControl - Matt Secoske
We are also introducing a new peice to the meetings: Open Discussion - people can talk about problems they’re facing, things that are interesting to them, etc. Bring your toughest problem right now with you and see if we can’t solve it together! If you have code snippets that can elaborate the issue, by all means bring them too!
October 17th - Food and Soda starting at 5:30PM , presentation to start around 6:00PM
Location:
Gallup Riverfront Campus
1001 Gallup Dr, Omaha, NE
(402) 951-2003
