- - ### Method Detail

    - #### @Override
      public String getEngineName()

    - #### @Override
      public String getEngineVersion()

      Note that the scripting.dev.java.net engine had this backwards. The engine version refers to this engine implementation. Whereas language version refers to the groovy implementation (which is obtained from the runtime).

    - #### @Override
      public List<String> getExtensions()

    - #### @Override
      public String getLanguageName()

      This is also different from scripting.dev.java.net which used an initial lowercase. But these are proper names and should be capitalized.

    - #### @Override
      public String getLanguageVersion()

    - #### @Override
      public String getMethodCallSyntax(String obj, String method, String args)

    - #### @Override
      public List<String> getMimeTypes()

    - #### @Override
      public List<String> getNames()

    - #### @Override
      public String getOutputStatement(String toDisplay)

    - #### @Override
      public Object getParameter(String key)

    - #### @Override
      public String getProgram(String statements)

    - #### @Override
      public org.jline.console.ScriptEngine getScriptEngine()
