+/**
+
+<p>The scripting API consists of interfaces and classes that define
+Java&trade; Scripting Engines and provides
+a framework for their use in Java applications. This API is intended
+for use by application programmers who wish to execute programs
+written in scripting languages in their Java applications. The
+scripting language programs are usually provided by the end-users of
+the applications.
+</p>
+<p>The main areas of functionality of <code>javax.script</code>
+package include
+</p>
+<ol>
+<li><p><b>Script execution</b>: Scripts
+are streams of characters used as sources for  programs executed by
+script engines. Script execution uses
+{@link javax.script.ScriptEngine#eval eval} methods of
+{@link javax.script.ScriptEngine ScriptEngine} and methods of the
+{@link javax.script.Invocable Invocable} interface.
+</p>
+<li><p><b>Binding</b>: This facility
+allows Java objects to be exposed to script programs as named
+variables. {@link javax.script.Bindings Bindings} and
+{@link javax.script.ScriptContext ScriptContext}
+classes are used for this purpose.
+</p>
+<li><p><b>Compilation</b>: This
+functionality allows the intermediate code generated by the
+front-end of a script engine to be stored and executed repeatedly.
+This benefits applications that execute the same script multiple
+times. These applications can gain efficiency since the engines'
+front-ends only need to execute once per script rather than once per
+script execution. Note that this functionality is optional and
+script engines may choose not to implement it. Callers need to check
+for availability of the {@link javax.script.Compilable Compilable}
+interface using an <I>instanceof</I> check.
+</p>
+<li><p><b>Invocation</b>: This
+functionality allows the reuse of intermediate code generated by a
+script engine's front-end. Whereas Compilation allows entire scripts
+represented by intermediate code to be re-executed, Invocation
+functionality allows individual procedures/methods in the scripts to
+be re-executed. As in the case with compilation, not all script
+engines are required to provide this facility. Caller has to check
+for {@link javax.script.Invocable Invocable} availability.
+</p>
+<li><p><b>Script engine discovery</b>: Applications
+written to the Scripting API might have specific requirements on
+script engines. Some may require a specific scripting language
+and/or version while others may require a specific implementation
+engine and/or version. Script engines are packaged in a specified
+way so that engines can be discovered at runtime and queried for
+attributes. The Engine discovery mechanism is based on the service-provider
+loading facility described in the {@link java.util.ServiceLoader} class.
+{@link javax.script.ScriptEngineManager ScriptEngineManager}
+includes
+{@link javax.script.ScriptEngineManager#getEngineFactories getEngineFactories} method to get all
+{@link javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory ScriptEngineFactory} instances
+discovered using this mechanism. <code>ScriptEngineFactory</code> has
+methods to query attributes about script engine.
+</p>
