BeanShell is probably the most common scripting language
in Java and it supposedly supports JSR 223.

But I could not get it working. Neither 2.0b4 or 2.0b5
worked with JSR 223 call.

And 2.0b6 docs said:

<quote>
BeanShell 2.0b6 is a security update that is functionally equivalent to 
the previous version 2.0b5.

No other functionality has changed since 2.0b5, but this is a 
recommended update for all BeanShell users, as it fixes a remote code 
execution vulnerability.
</quote>

But guess what - it works with 2.0b6!

So:

         test("beanshell", "for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {\r\n" +
                           "    System.out.println(\"Hi from 
BeanShell!\");\r\n"+
         		          "}\r\n");

beanshell:
for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
     System.out.println("Hi from BeanShell!");
}
Hi from BeanShell!
Hi from BeanShell!
Hi from BeanShell!
