Summary
The Java Compiler API isn’t needed by everyone. In fact, it isn’t needed by most people. It’s great for those creating tools like editors, or something like JSP engines, which require real-time compilation. Thanks to JSR 199, you can do this with Java 6.
Chapter 9 moves on to JSR 223, which incorporates even more new features into Mustang. This JSR defines a framework for combining the scripting world with the Java world, enabling scripting languages to interact with full-fledged Java objects in a standard way. No longer will you have to explore any vendor-specific options, thanks to the new javax.script and javax.script.http packages.
