====== Scripting extension ======

the Orbit GIS Script extension brings the power of the Orbit engine to all JSR-223 compatible scripting languages!  Java Specification Request 223 specifies a standardized interface for scripting engines and many scripting languages on the Java platform have implemented this interface.

Examples include but are not limited to :
  * Groovy
  * JavaFX script
  * Python
  * Javascript
  * Java itself (compiled on-the-fly)
  * Ruby`
  * TCL


===== Running a script =====

The extension comes bundled with the latest version of the [[http://www.groovy.org|groovy]] scripting language.  

To add support for other languages, you should add 2 things to the <orbitgis>/ext/script/jar directory : 
  - The jars required by the scripting language
  - The jar implementing the JSR-223 interface
