Currently, to use Scala as a scripting engine, one has to do:
import scala.tools.nsc.*;
Interpreter n=new Interpreter(new Settings());
n.bind("label", "Int", new Integer(4));
n.interpret("println(2+label)");
// didn't event try to check success or error
n.close();
It would be nice if one could do instead:
import javax.script.*;
ScriptEngine e = new ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("scala");
e.getContext().setAttribute("label", new Integer(4), ScriptContext.ENGINE_SCOPE);
try {
engine.eval("println(2+label)");
} catch (ScriptException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
Plus, as was pointed elsewhere, the compiler used in the background by the interpreter should not need a filesystem (for instance if scripting is to be used on handheld devices etc.)
