Using scripting inside the JRE

Since Java Runtime environment JRE version 1.6, scripting code can be executed inside the virtual machine environment with the usage of the classes in the javax.script.* native Java package. The classes included in the JRE release contain Java implementation logic for Mozilla open source Rhino and ECMAScript JavaScript language engines, but many others like Ruby or Phyton can be included, as well as making your own scripting interpreter.
