| 7. Jelly | | By: | | | License: | Apache Software License | | URL: | http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jelly/ | | Description: | Jelly is a tool for turning XML into executable code. So Jelly is a Java and XML based scripting and processing engine. Jelly can be used as a more flexible and powerful front end to Ant such as in the Maven project, as a testing framework such as JellyUnit, in an intergration or workflow system such as werkflow or as a page templating system inside engines like Cocoon.
Jelly borrows many good ideas from both JSP custom tags, Velocity, Cocoon, Ant. Jelly can be used from the command line, inside Ant and Maven or inside a Servlet, Web Service, JMS MessageListener or embedded directly into your software.
Jelly has native support for a Velocity-like expression language called Jexl which is a superset of the JSP, JSTL and JSF expression languages as well as support for other pluggable expression languages like XPath via Jaxen, JavaScript, beanshell and Jython.
Jelly is completely extendable via custom tags in a similar way to JSP custom tags or Ant tasks. Though Jelly is really simple and has no dependencies either Servlets or JSP. So you could think of Jelly as similar to an XML-ized Velocity where the directives are XML tags. Or you could think of Jelly as a more flexible engine for processing Ant tasks with better expression, logic and looping support.
Jelly is also based on an XML pipeline architecture, like Cocoon, so that it is ideal for processing XML, scripting web services, generating dynamic web content or being part of a content generation system such as Cocoon.

| 8. Bean Scripting Framework (BSF) | | By: | | | License: | Apache Software License | | URL: | http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf/index.html | | Description: | Bean Scripting Framework (BSF) is a set of Java classes which provides scripting language support within Java applications, and access to Java objects and methods from scripting languages. BSF allows one to write JSPs in languages other than Java while providing access to the Java class library. In addition, BSF permits any Java application to be implemented in part (or dynamically extended) by a language that is embedded within it. This is achieved by providing an API that permits calling scripting language engines from within Java, as well as an object registry that exposes Java objects to these scripting language engines.

| 15. LuaJava | | By: | | | License: | BSD License | | URL: | http://www.keplerproject.org/luajava/ | | Description: | LuaJava is a scripting tool for Java. The goal of this tool is to allow scripts written in Lua to manipulate components developed in Java. LuaJava allows Java components to be accessed from Lua using the same syntax that is used for accessing Lua`s native objects, without any need for declarations or any kind of preprocessing.
LuaJava also allows Java to implement an interface using Lua. This way any interface can be implemented in Lua and passed as parameter to any method, and when called, the equivalent function will be called in Lua, and it's result passed back to Java.

| 16. Yoix | | By: | | | License: | | | URL: | http://www.yoix.org/ | | Description: | The Yoix scripting language is a general-purpose programming language that uses syntax and functions familiar to users of C and Java. It is not an object oriented language, but makes use of over 150 object types that provide access to most of the standard Java classes. Because the Yoix interpreter is built entirely using pure JavaTM technology, it means that Yoix applications are cross-platform, GUI-capable and both network and thread friendly, yet Yoix developers find themselves insulated from the more cumbersome and tricky parts of coding the same functionality directly in Java. It does not use reflection to access Java functionality and thus adds value by not only simplifying access to that functionality, but also improving application reliability by coding through both Java glitches and complicated Java features one-time, behind-the-scenes. The Yoix language includes pointers, addressing, declarations, and global and local variables. In addition to supporting native user functions, users can add their own builtin functions written in Java.

| 19. FScript | | By: | | | License: | GNU Library or Lesser General Public License (LGPL) | | URL: | http://fscript.sourceforge.net/ | | Description: | FScript is an extremely simple scripting language. Its intended use is as an embedded language in other Java programs. It is very simple to embed - it can be as simple as sub-classing one class to add your own functionality. However is not a complete programming language, as it has no library of standard functions (such as IO and string processing). FScript supplies a base functionality (such as flow control, variable handling and basic math operations) that can extended by the host application.
As of version 1.1 it is possible to access Java objects from within a FScript script(in some ways similar to what can be done with Jython), this increases the number of potential applications for FScript considerably
