javax.script (was: [VOTE] Apache Maven Script Interpreter 1.0)

[Jesse Glick <je...@oracle.com>]

Did you consider using the standard javax.script.* API instead of some or all of these interfaces? That would permit automatic support for many languages by just dropping 
the JAR with the (non-Maven-specific) META-INF/services/javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory into the classpath/realm, and offers richer features such as precompilation.

The API is part of Java 6 but could easily be packaged as a standalone artifact for use with Java 5. Rhino (JS) is available automatically in JDK 6+.

Good idea to use this javax.script.* API.
IMHO Something to change for next release.
