NAME
     beansh  | beanshell - BeanShell, a small and embeddable Java
     source interpreter

SYNOPSIS
     beansh | beanshell [-g] [BeanShell Script]

DESCRIPTION
     BeanShell is a small, free, embeddable  Java  source  inter-
     preter  with  object scripting language features, written in
     Java. BeanShell dynamically executes  standard  Java  syntax
     and  extends  it  with common scripting conveniences such as
     loose types, commands, and method  closures  like  those  in
     Perl and JavaScript.

     You can use BeanShell interactively for Java experimentation
     and debugging as well as to extend your applications in  new
     ways.  Scripting  Java  lends  itself  to  a wide variety of
     applications including  rapid  prototyping,  user  scripting
     extension,  rules  engines,  configuration, testing, dynamic
     deployment, embedded systems, and even Java education.

     BeanShell is small and embeddable, so you can call BeanShell
     from your Java applications to execute Java code dynamically
     at run-time or to provide  extensibility  in  your  applica-
     tions.  Alternatively,  you  can  use  standalone  BeanShell
     scripts to manipulate Java applications; working  with  Java
     objects  and APIs dynamically. Since BeanShell is written in
     Java and runs in the same VM as your  application,  you  can
     freely  pass  references  to "live" objects into scripts and
     return them as results.

     In short, BeanShell is dynamically interpreted Java, plus  a
     scripting  language and flexible environment all rolled into
     one clean package.
