    <p>I am writing a graphics application in Java. Eventually I would like to build in a scripting language so things are programmable. Which language library do you recommend?</p> <p>Likely suspects are:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Rhino</a> (JavaScript)</li> <li><a href="http://jruby.codehaus.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">JRuby</a> (Ruby)</li> <li><a href="http://www.jython.org/Project/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Jython</a> (Python)</li> </ul> <p>Less likely candidates are:</p> <ul> <li>Whip up my own language using <a href="https://javacc.dev.java.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">JavaCC</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.keplerproject.org/luajava/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">LuaJava</a> (Lua)</li> <li><a href="http://groovy.codehaus.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Groovy</a></li> <li><a href="http://java.sun.com/javafx/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">JavaFX</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.gimp.org/docs/scheme_plugin/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Script-Fu</a></li> </ul> <p>The target audience are probably not hardcore programmers, so less arcane language is preferred. My guess is that JavaScript is more acceptable by them even with its quirks just because they've seen it more. </p> <p>Lua seems to be popular in C/C++, but at least LuaJava requires additional .dll/.so, which makes deployment complicated.</p> <p>EDIT: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/143388/java-scripting-language-macro-to-embed-into-a-java-desktop-application#143421">PhiLho</a> wrote that there's a Java implementation of Lua called <a href="http://code.google.com/p/kahlua/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">kahlua</a>.</p> <hr> <p>Related questions:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15349/which-scripting-language-to-support-in-an-existing-codebase">Which scripting language to support in an existing codebase?</a> (in C/C++)</li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/260/adding-scripting-functionality-to-net-apps">Adding Scripting functionality to .net Apps</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/137933/what-is-the-best-scripting-language-to-embed-in-a-c-desktop-application">What is the best scripting language to embed in a C# desktop application.</a></li> </ul>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
