Java 6: Examples for implementing own scripting language using javax.script?

Question

I really can't find good examples for implementing own scripting language using javax.script ...

I need just something to start.

Documentations
Examples
Tutorials
Videos
Presentations slides (PDF)

Note 1: I'm really not talking about javascript ;)
Note 2: I don't need examples, how to use existing implementations, I want to implement an own language.

Thank you.

This was a while ago now. Would you mind posting a quickish summary of what you found and did ? Thanks ! — Nicholas, Aug 10 '12 at 14:47

What about the scripting.dev.java.net project, it includes many Script Engines (and their sources).

No better place to start than reading the spec (there's a separate spec document for script engine implementers): JSR 223

Yes, I'm reading it already, but it's a bit too complex. I would appreciate something easier. – ivan_ivanovich_ivanoff Sep 19 '09 at 11:43

Sorry, not really a direct answer: but rather than trying to use the javax.script package, try to implement first your language. Javacc or ANTLR are a good start.

1) Wanted only to try the API out. 2) Have already a little own language ;) – ivan_ivanovich_ivanoff Sep 19 '09 at 13:34

Have a look at the Java Scripting Programmer's Guide.

That's more the usage part. *"We will not cover implementation of JSR-223 compliant script engines in detail"* – ivan_ivanovich_ivanoff Sep 19 '09 at 16:54

I see. You should mention that you want the details. "Just something to start" sounds different. ;) – John Smithers Sep 19 '09 at 17:04
