Where can I find a list of available JSR-223 scripting languages? [closed]

Question

I need a JVM-based scripting language for my app and would like to see what else is out there besides Groovy, Ruby, and Python.

Google keeps pointing me to a dead page at http://scripting.dev.java.net/

This is not a official list, but you can start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_JVM_languages

Rhino (JavaScript) is implemented in the Oracle JDK/JRE by default.

With this code you can see what scripting languages are available in your JDK:

import java.util.*; import javax.script.*;  public class A {      public static void main( String[] args ) {          ScriptEngineManager mgr = new ScriptEngineManager();         List<ScriptEngineFactory> factories = mgr.getEngineFactories();          for (ScriptEngineFactory factory : factories) {              System.out.println("ScriptEngineFactory Info");              String engName = factory.getEngineName();             String engVersion = factory.getEngineVersion();             String langName = factory.getLanguageName();             String langVersion = factory.getLanguageVersion();              System.out.printf("\tScript Engine: %s (%s)%n", engName, engVersion);              List<String> engNames = factory.getNames();             for(String name : engNames) {                 System.out.printf("\tEngine Alias: %s%n", name);             }              System.out.printf("\tLanguage: %s (%s)%n", langName, langVersion);          }      }  }

You may want to try Lua too. Take a look here: how can I embed lua in java?
