Interface NameIn/OutStabilitySpecified in What Document?
org.netbeans.api.scriptingImportedOfficial

Scripting class offers static createManager() method that should be used whenever one needs an instance of ScriptEngineManager inside of NetBeans based application.

The module is needed for compilation. The module is used during runtime. Specification version 1.2 is required.

org.graalvm.polyglot.wrapperExportedStable

This module re-exports all found GraalVM languages under GraalVM:lang name and makes them accessible via NetBeans Scripting API.

org.graalvm.polyglotExportedThird party

This module re-exports org.graalvm.polyglot APIs. Use them to obtain access to the GraalVM directly, if you only want to work with them and generic Scripting wrapper isn't enough.

The module is needed for compilation. The module is used during runtime. Specification version 9.10 is required.

GraalVM:EngineExportedStable

When this module is used (on GraalVM or without) it automatically exports all available languages (obtained via org.graalvm.polyglot.Engine) as ScriptEngine instances. These dynamically created engines use GraalVM: prefix (GraalVM:js, GraalVM:python) in their name.

allowAllAccessExportedStable

By default all the GraalVM engines (named GraalVM:something) run in a very restricted, secure sandbox. See GraalSDK for details. That means the languages cannot access local files, ports, etc. Some languages (like >FastR implementation of the R language) need such access. In such case one has to allow such access. This can be done by
var eng = Scripting.createManager().getEngineByMimeType("application/x-r");
eng.getContext().setAttribute("allowAllAccess", true, ScriptContext.GLOBAL_SCOPE)
