Re: [e4-dev] Integration of Scripting Languages
|
Hi, e4 dev team.
I agree Hallvard's comment!
Because how do you think about Scripting Engine's native feature like
"readline history" and content completion feature. JRuby runtime engine
is supported both features.But these features are not supported in BSF
and and JSR 233 "javax.scripting" packages.
So,I need to support language-specific integration.

<https://scripting.dev.java.net/> with no real additional effort on the
side of the Java application and framework implementors.

What I'd like to propose is that instead of using Rhino-Directly in
JSContributionFactory to go through the BSF and hence support various
scripting frameworks out of the box.
I completely agree that we should go through javax.scripting/Apache
BSF for basic scripting support.
Still, we should remember that there are different levels of
integration desired, that may require language-specific integration.
With javax.scripting you can execute scripts in a scope, lookup
variables in a scope, etc. Often you want to go further than that, by
exploiting specific language features. E.g. in the Javascript support
for EMF a richer API is provided that exploits Javascript's function
objects.
