- Choosing a Java scripting language: Round two by David Kearns - [Clicks: 71]
Scripting languages have proven their value to Java developers. They let users extend and customize the application's functionality and appearance, which adds value to the program.

For a developer, the task of integrating one or more of these scripting languages is easy. Picking one from the growing list is hard.
