public final class Scripting
extends Object

NetBeans aware access to ScriptEngineManager manager. Rather than using JDK's ScriptEngineManager manager directly, instantiate it via Scripting.createManager() method. This method is aware of NetBeans specific runtime configurations. It uses the right classloader as well as specific discovery mechanisms to locate additional implementations of ScriptEngineFactory. To execute a JavaScript code use:

ScriptEngine js = Scripting.createManager().getEngineByMimeType("text/javascript");
assert js != null;

Number x = (Number) js.eval("6 * 7");

assert x.intValue() == 42;
