BeanShell is a scripting language that can be incorporated into other software programs.
BeanShell is an embeddable scripting language that is becoming increasingly popular among software developers due to its ability to extend Java into the scripting domain in a natural way. Besides interpreting standard Java code, BeanShell allows users to add loose types, method closures, commands, and other obvious scripting language features.
One of its unique features is that scripted classes appear to outside Java code and by introspection as ordinary classes, but they are fully dynamic and may include arbitrary scripts in their bodies, methods, and constructors. All of these properties make it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a powerful scripting language that can integrate seamlessly with Java.
To use BeanShell, the only requirement is to have the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your system. The developers have tested it with JRE 6.
The latest release of BeanShell has seen significant improvements with updated JDK1.5 and assorted minor bugfixes. In addition, its exception handling has been greatly improved, making it even more reliable and user-friendly.
Overall, BeanShell is an excellent tool for anyone looking to extend Java into the scripting domain. Its impressive features and compatibility with Java make it an essential tool for software developers worldwide.
