Method Detail

public String getEngineName()

public String getEngineVersion()

Note that the scripting.dev.java.net engine had this backwards. The engine version refers to this engine implementation. Whereas language version refers to the groovy implementation (which is obtained from the runtime).

public List<String> getExtensions()

public String getLanguageName()

This is also different than scripting.dev.java.net which used an initial lowercase. But these are proper names and should be capitalized.

public String getLanguageVersion()

public String getMethodCallSyntax(String obj, String method, String... args)

public List<String> getMimeTypes()

public List<String> getNames()

public String getOutputStatement(String toDisplay)

public Object getParameter(String key)

public String getProgram(String... statements)
