Yes, the JSR-223 additions in Java 6 look interesting. Good for
embedded debugging, and runtime pluggable code. The only real problem
I see with using embedded scripting for rapid development is the lack
of decent debugger support. Although that is likely to change with
time now that scripting on the JVM is getting more acceptance.
If you want rapid turnaround in a dynamic language, have a look here
http://code.google.com/p/wogroovy/
It's still a work in progress, there is no documentation, you will
need to check it out of subversion and build it yourself. You will
need to tweak your eclipse settings a little to get the rapid
turnaround working right, email me offline if you need/want to help.
You don't need Java 6, but you do need Java 1.5 for rapid turnaround
to work. If it proves to be useful to enough people I might spend
some more time on improving and documenting how you use it.
