javascript and eclipse

People are beginning to change their minds.

Scripting Java :: JavaScript

Interaction between the JVM based object system and another object system has many possible uses. For example

• end users in many industries are already familiar with JavaScript and can use it to extend behavior of Java objects w/o learning Java, the constraints of Java, etc.
  
• Java developers may use it for exploratory programming
• Ajax is a special case
• WebMonkey at eclipse appears to be stalled, but its intent was to allow much faster development of user interfaces in eclipse by going from JavaScript to to the RCP plugins
• An entire JavaScript development environment has been built using this idea.
• BIRT, a reporting framework for eclipse, provides java/javascript integration.
